Selecting film advance mode

S (single-frame shooting), CL (continuous low-speed shooting), CH (continuous high-speed shooting), Cs (continuous silent-low-speed shooting), V (self-timer) and M-UP(mirror up) are available for a variety of shooting situations.

To select film advance mode, rotate the film advance mode selector while pressing the film advance mode selector lock release.

• The following film advance modes are available:

S:Single-frame shooting

Fully depressing the shutter release button takes one picture and automatically advances the film by one frame.

CL: Continuous low-speed shooting

Shots are taken continuously at approx. 2 fps (approx. 4 fps with Multi Power Battery Pack MB-40) as long as you keep the shutter release button fully depressed.

CH: Continuous high-speed shooting

Shots are taken continuously at approx. 5.5 fps (approx. 8 fps with Multi Power Battery Pack MB-40) as long as you keep the shutter release button fully depressed.

Cs: Continuous silent-low-speed shooting

Shots are taken continuously at approx. 1 fps (approx. 2 fps with Multi Power Battery Pack MB-40) as long as you keep the shutter release button fully depressed. In this mode, film rewind also slows and produces minimal rewind noise.

V: Self-timer

Use the self-timer when you want to be in the photograph (x 82).

M-UP: Mirror up

In a situation such as when you want to minimize camera shake, use mirror up photography. Press shutter release button once to raise the mirror, and press again to take photograph (x 84).

*Film advance speed is tested using the camera settings of focus mode C, exposure mode ¢, shutter speed 1/250 sec. or faster, at normal temperature of 20°C (68°F), with fresh 3V lithium batteries, for the first to 36th frames of a film.

When batteries are exhausted (M appears in the top LCD panel) in S, CH or self-timer mode, film advance speed slows down since film advance automatically switches to start after the camera’s mirror retracts. (Normally, film advance begins immediately when the mirror starts to retract.) In this case, battery replacement is

recommended.
