Not sure about the camera "thinking" it's empty. With the Z-1, you have to pull the film lip well to the right of the shutter window before the camera tries to wind it on. OTOH, I have a suspicion that this might also have something to do with the ISO recognition system...
Now you got me curious. Got to check out a few things with the Z-1 when I get home from work.
