Setting and confirming film speed

Set the exposure mode/ISO film speed select dial to a and rotate the Main-Command Dial to set film speed in use.

• Film speed can be set to s and between ISO 6-6400 in 1/3 steps by rotating

the Main-Command Dial. When a film is reinstalled, film speed is automatically

set to s.

If film does not start to rewind or film rewind stops at mid-roll

• When battery power is very low, or at low temperatures, film may not start rewinding or film rewind may stop at mid-roll, and o––and frame number will blink in the LCD panel. In this case, turn the power switch off, change batteries, then turn the power switch on and rewind film again.

• When film speed is set to s and DX-coded film is installed, film speed is

Film

automatically set between ISO 25-5000. Film speed can also be set manually

with DX-coded film to have an effect of increased or decreased film sensitivity.

• Film speed can be set between ISO 6-6400 with non-DX-coded film.

• To confirm either automatically set or manually set film speed on the camera,

set the exposure mode/ISO film speed select dial to a.

• The shutter cannot be released when the exposure mode/ISO film speed

select dial is set to a. Set the dial to the desired exposure mode (¡, , £ or

¢) before shooting.

c 2: Film speed setting can be set not to become s when a film is reinstalled (page 71).

Mid-roll rewind

To rewind film at mid-roll, press the two film rewind buttons simultaneously for approx. 1 sec.

o––, o– and then o appear in the LCD panel and viewfinder during film rewind and the frame counter counts backwards until rewind is complete.

Film is completely rewound when the frame counter shows blinking “E”. (E appears without blinking when the exposure meter is off.) Open the camera

back and remove the film cartridge. When the camera back is opened before the film is completely rewound (before E blinks), warning indication (blinking o––and frame counter) appears in the LCD panel and viewfinder. Refer to page 103 for troubleshooting.

c 13: High-speed film rewind is normally executed. This film rewind can be

changed to quiet film rewind (page 74).

Rotate the film advance mode selector while pressing the film advance mode selector lock release to select film advance mode.

The following film advance modes are available:

ı: Single-frame shooting

Fully depressing the shutter release button takes one picture and automatically advances the film by one frame.

˜: Continuous shooting

Shots are taken continuously at the rate of up to approx. 2.5 fps as long as you keep the shutter release button fully depressed.

Film advance speed is tested using camera settings of focus mode ¢, exposure mode ¢, shutter speed 1/125 sec. or faster, aperture other than maximum, at normal temperature of 20°C, with fresh batteries, for the 1st to 36th frames of a film.

When the film advance mode selector is set to Z, multiple exposure can be performed (page 63). Also, when it is set to V, self-timer operation can be performed (page 68).
