DATA MEMORY

When data memory is selected, the following information about each photograph is stored at the time of exposure:

• Aperture

• Lens focal length

• Exposure compensation

• Shutter speed

• Flash status (on/off)

• Flash compensation (if used)

• Bracketing/flash bracketing (on/off)

 

Data memory can store information from 9 rolls of film with up to 40 exposures on each roll.

FILM AREAS

The data from each of the 9 rolls of film is stored separately in nine different areas called "film areas". The first roll of film is stored in film area 1, the second in film area 2, and so on. When all the data areas are full, information from the next roll of film will be stored in data area 1, erasing the previous data.

Film Areas

OVERWRITING THE FILM AREAS

When all 9 film areas are full, will appear in the data panel as a warning before Film Area 1 is overwritten.

This warning appears only when the film area changes from 9 to 1. The warning disappears after the first exposure is made.

The old information in the data area is overwritten one frame at a time. A frame between the old and the new information is erased and left blank.
