Frame counter setting

The frame counter can be set to show either how many unexposed frames remain on a film or how many frames have already been exposed. The LCD shows your choice of setting by adding the word Remain as a reminder of the number of frames remaining or ‘countdown’. Absence of this word implies the opposite, namely, ‘count-up’, so it denotes the number of the next frame to be used (for example, the figure 4 means three frames have already been exposed). This information is also automatically displayed on the grip LCD and viewfinder LCD though only as a figure above a symbol.

To access frame counter setting:

1)Ensure the magazine settings lock is in the unlocked position.

2)Press thebutton until Remain appears.

3)Press either thebutton or thebutton to reach the desired setting (toggle function).

‘on’ will show the number of frames remaining ‘oFF’ will show the number of the next frame.

4)The new setting will be saved automatically after a time out of five seconds.

5)Return the magazine settings lock to the locked position.

Low-battery symbol

The low-battery symbol only appears on the magazine LCD when the battery needs changing.
