Exposure data on the negative - resetting films number

dieghe · 04-18-2013, 01:51 AM

Hi everybody,

I recently bought an used Pentax 645NII. As many of you will know, this camera has the capability of imprinting exposure data of the picture taken directly on the negative, like aperture settings, shutter speed and many other useful info. Since the camera was owned by somebody else, the info about the number of films taken is different from zero. My question: is there anyway to reset this number to start my own films number? Any procedure to apply? The camera manual and google don't help!

Thank you
