The Half Roll Rewind


My mom bought a Pentax Iq Zoom camera used and without a manual. The camera has an automatic half roll rewind, so when she has a 24 roll exposure, the camera rewinds automatically at 12 pictures and the other half goes to waste. Is there a way to shut the rewind off or some other way around the automatic half roll rewind?

Automatically rewinding after 12 exposures does not sound like a normal feature. I'd guess something else, like a bad film-tension sensor.
