SETTING THE ISO MANUALLY

Set the film speed manually when you want to override DX-coded film or when using non-DX-coded film. Film speeds can be set from ISO 6 to 6400 in 1/3Ev increments.

• Non-DX coded film is initially set to the previous roll’s ISO.

1 Load the film.

2 Turn the function dial to ISO.

3 While pressing the function button, turn the control dial until the desired ISO value appears on the data panel.

4 Release the function button. The selected film speed will be set.

• The data panel returns to the usual display.

•Exposure compensation in 1/3 Ev increments can be made using the ISO function. Care should be taken because no warning will be displayed indicating the ISO has been changed.

Custom Function Notes

Cust-4: Manual ISO settings will be canceled when the film is rewound (1), or the manual ISO setting will be stored and applied to future rolls of film with the same DX-coded ISO (2) (p.109).

EXPOSURE BRACKETING

Bracketing automatically exposes a series of three frames with differing exposures. Bracket your exposures when shooting slides and other films with a low tolerance for exposure error.

•The bracket can be set in increments of 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, or 1.0 Ev.

•The flash cannot be used with bracketing.

•Exposure compensation can be used to adjust the bracket series.
