Nikon F6 instruction manual Film, Setting and confirming film speed

Film—continued

•Setting and confirming film speed

When using non-DX-coded film or when changing the film speed of DX-coded film to increase or decrease sensitivity, follow the instructions below.

Rotate the Main-Command Dial while pressing the film speed ISO button to set film speed for the roll in use.

• Film speed can be set to s and between ISO 6- 6400 in 1/3 steps.

• When film speed is set to s and DX-coded film is installed, film speed is set automatically between ISO 25 and 5000.

• With non-DX-coded film, film speed can be set between ISO 6-6400.

• Film speed set on the camera is displayed in the rear LCD panel (in normal and detailed display). (Press the ISO button to confirm film speed in the large display.)

Manually set film speed overrides the automatically selected DX-coded film speed, enabling you to easily increase or decrease film sensitivity.

CSM d6: When film speed is set to s and non-DX-coded film is loaded, Err blinks in the top LCD panel and viewfinder and “DX ERR” is displayed in the rear LCD panel after film is advanced to the first frame. This warning indication can be changed to appear when the power switch is turned on and camera back is closed (without advancing film to the first frame) (x 102).
