METERING — Setting the ISO Manually

Set the ISO manually to override the DX-coded ISO or when using non-DX coded film.

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

Film must be loaded before the ISO can be changed.

1. Open the control panel door and press the ISO button.

2. Turn either control dial to set the desired ISO value.

• The ISO can be changed manually from 6 to 6400 in 1/3 EV increments.

3. Press the shutter-release button partway down to enter the new ISO.
