Warnings of Incorrect Operation in Stopped-down Photography

Two problems can arise if you use the camera incorrectly in the stopped-down mode. The first problem occurs if the stop- down lever of the camera is locked in before you mount the lens. If you expose a frame in this situation, it will be incorrectly exposed due to incorrect coupling of the aperture ring. To prevent this, before you mount a lens, make sure there is no red dot beside the stop-down coupling lever inside the camera body. The red dot is very conspicuous and appears only when the stop- down lever is pushed in.

The second problem arises if you push in the camera's stop-down lever and, before taking a shot, release the stop-down lever and return the lens aperture ring to the “A” mark. If you then try to press the shutter

button, you will notice that neither it nor the film advance lever will operate. What's more, this is when the “EEEE EE” mark will flash in the viewfinder whether the view- finder display switch is turned off or not.

This appears to be a distressing situation, but it is very easily corrected. Push the film advance lever into its retracted position close to the camera body. The multiple exposure lever is underneath. Push it to the left. Now turn the film advance lever. With this opera- tion, the camera will work in the normal way.
