> This make no sense. It is imprinting on rewind that make mid roll change
and roll number count totally hassle free. Think of what happens: every time
you open the back door of your camera the memory is getting cleared. This
mean that you can reload a film 36 times if you like and the camera will
only imprint those images you shot after you relaoded the film cause thats
all thats in the memory. You need memory anyway if you don't use a row of
emmiters that fires simultaneously during exposure (something thats
impossible anyway cause theres no way you could have made sure that the data
is imprinted between the sprocket holes). After all, you need a sprocket
hole sensor separated from the data emmiter something tha means that there
will be a time delay between exposure, sprocket hole sensoring and data
imprinting. Memory is needed anyway.

When using mid roll change, you have to dial in the frame number before
loading the film.  It evidently counts sprocket holes.  If you tell the
camera to start at frame 4, and you have already exposed through frame 6,
you will have double exposures on frames 4-6.
