Loading/removing film

• When loading film for the first time, remove the shutter curtain’s protective cover .

• Shutter curtains are very thin. Do not touch the shutter curtains with your finger or the film leader.

• Avoid direct sunlight when changing film.

Film slack

Do not turn the film rewind crank to reduce film slack, because the tip of the film may come off and film will not advance properly. It could also damage the shutter curtain.

Basic Operation

DX-coded film

When the camera’s film speed is set to s and DX-coded film is loaded, film speed will be set automatically (ISO 25-5000). When a non-DX-

coded film is loaded with the camera film speed set to s, Err blinks in the top LCD panel and viewfinder and “DX ERR” is

displayed in the rear LCD panel, and the shutter locks. In this case, set film speed manually (x 44).
