The film rewinds into the cassette mid-roll while shooting, so that if the camera back is accidentally opened, the exposed film is not ruined. The camera can tell which formats have been used to get the film back to the end of the roll to finish off the remaining frames. What I don't quite understand is whether this is an automatic feature, or one which the user has to prompt.>> Is it not likely that the film winds out of the cartridge when film is is loaded and then "rewinds" into the cartridge after each shot? This is what happens, for example, with the Ricoh GR1, and seems a safer operating mode than the conventional one. Regards.
