Auto Power Off

Power is switched off and data panel indicators disappear automati- cally to save the batteries when the camera or flash is not used for four minutes (auto power off).

• When the flash is switched off (right diagram), the data panel indicator will disappear after eight seconds, or after 60 minutes in the case of wireless flash (p. 40).

•Custom settings may be used to change the

time of auto power off, or to disable auto power off (p. 65).

Film

Do not use high-speed film (rating in excess of ISO 1000) with TTL

direct metering ( displayed on the data panel, p. 36). Use of such film increases the exposure error.

•The low-speed film limit is the same as that for the films specified for the camera. See the camera manual for details.
