When “DX” is displayed on the dis- play panel, the camera reads the DX code and sets the film speed auto- matically.

The automatic film speed settings range from ISO 25 to 5000.

When film with no DX code is loaded, the film speed is automatically set to ISO 100.

If “DX” is not displayed on the display panel, be sure to set the ISO manually. (See page 23.)

<Checking the film speed>

To check the ISO of the film loaded in the camera, set the position dial to “ISO”.

“DX” or “ISO” and the speed of the film loaded in the camera appear on the dis- play panel.
