Film advance lever @

The film advance lever is specially contoured to fit the thumb and is coaxial with the shutter release button. It has a 30 0 stand-off with a throw of 140 0 and may be operated in one complete stroke or a series of shorter ones .

Frame counter @

To keep track of the number of exposed frames, the frame counter is graduatea from two frames below 0 up to 40. 23 Blue numerals appear every 5 frames (0, 5, 10, etc.) with dots in between. White marks at 12, 20, 24, and 36 indi- cate the number of frames available on most film car- tridges. When making blank shots with the shutter speed dial set to "A," the shutter will fire at 1/S0 sec . until the frame counter reaches "1." In addition, the LCD shows

SO in the finder. Or if you set the dial manually between 1/125 and 1/2000 sec . , the shutter will still fire at 1/S0 sec. In the finder, an "MSO" is displayed . However, if the speed is manually set to 1/S0 sec. (X) or below, the shutter will fire at the speed set and the speed will be displayed by the LCD. Therefore, to speed up film loading, set the dial to "A" or to 1/S0 sec. (X) or above. "T" should not be used when making blank shots as the shutter will remain locked open.
