Once, I also opened the back of my MZ-M by accident (I still don't know
why I opened the back door) and quickly closed it when I realized that a
film is sitting inside. As a result, I lost 2 frames. From then onwards, I
never committed the mistake of opening the back cover with the film
inside. It was a good lesson for me.
