Memo Operational precautions

To select or cancel the date imprinting or to select the format, see “Imprinting the Date and Time” on page 16.

If the imprinting looks too light or if the Data back’s display looks light

or shows nothing, replace the Data back’s battery. ( p.40)

The working temperature for data printing is 0°C - 50°C (32°F - 122°F).

Imprinted data may appear too light under the low temperature.

Use DX-coded films with ISO rating from 25 - 1600.

If high-speed film with an ISO rating of 1000 or faster is used, the imprinted characters may blur.

If film with ISO rating of 50 or slower is used, the printed characters may be dark or dim.

If you release the shutter while the blinking data is being corrected, the data cannot be imprinted.
