Inching
The camera can be inched by pressing the “PHASE” button while the camera is in Standby. If the “PHASE” button is only pressed briefly, the mirror shutter rotates a part revolution to enable an unrestricted view of the film gate (e.g. for checking the gate). If the “PHASE” button is held pressed longer, the camera will inch forward at approximately 1 fps. During inching the upper line of the display indicates the measured shutter angle, the lower line the measured voltage of the power supply.
While inching, the camera speed is not exactly controlled. As this can cause faulty exposures, do not film while inching.
