The number of sheets can be checked through a rectangular window.
The basic design is a black base with white-colored letters, and the number of sheets is indicated clearly by a black-colored indicator outside the window.
When the film is not installed, the display starts with the letter “S”.

When a film is inserted and a picture is taken, the camera starts with the red color 0.

This time, we introduced a film counter for a manual focus film SLR camera released in 1964 by Canon.
This is a very common type of film counter.
Since it has a simple design, I think it is very easy to understand and read.
