Multiple exposure lever @l

Double or multiple exposures are easy to accomplish with the F3's multiple exposure lever. Follow this procedure :

241. Take the first shot.

2.Then to recoc k the shutter without advancing the film, push the multiple exposure lever forward (Fig . 1), and stroke the advance lever. Immediately the multiple exposure lever will spring back to its normal position (Fig . 2).

3 . Now you're ready to take the second shot on the same frame . For more than two shots on the same frame , just repeat the same procedure for each additional ex- posure. When you've finished, simply advance the film normally to the next frame .

Batteries

When battery power fails, the camera's exposure meter stops working and the shutter won't work either unless you use the backup mechanical release lever. For this reason, it is a good idea to carry an extra set of batteries with you whenever you set out to take pictures.

Under normal usage, one set of 1.5V silver -oxide batteries (Eveready EPX76 or equivalent) will last for about one year. Try not to touch the + or - surfaces of the batteries as this many result in poor e lectrical contact. If you do get fingerprints on the battery terminals, wipe them off with a soft cloth.

At below -freezing temperatures, battery performance deteriorates. The use of a fresh set of batteries is recom- mended to ensure reliable service at low temperatures. In extremely cold climates, it is recommended to use the F3 in conjunction with the MD-4 Motor Drive . With the motor drive attached, the camera gets all its power from the batteries in the motor drive. Thus, if you use a NiCd battery , the camera/motor drive will operate down

to -20°C.

Note: At -10°C or below, the LCD may exhibit a slight delay in response time . This is natural and should be no couse for concern. However, exposure to extremely high temperatures (BO°C and above) may actually shorten the life of the LCD.

Note: While making multiple exposures, the frame counter doesn't

advance.
