The MZ-S does indeed number rolls from 1-200 (and then start at 1 again). All it needs
to remember is how many frames on each roll - not any memory number. So all you have
to do is tell the camera what roll number you're inserting in the camera. However,
this doesn't make much sense because you can just as easily tell the frame number as
roll number. By telling the camera the frame number you have no limits on the number
of film roll you can rewind mid-roll and reload again. This is also how its done on
the MZ-S (and Minolta Dynaxx 7/9).
