Imprinting Shooting Data (F80S only)

With the F80S, you can imprint shutter speed, aperture and selected exposure compensation values between film frames (in any exposure mode).

Select shooting data imprint by rotating the shooting data imprint dial to $i.

When a picture is taken, three shooting data—shutter speed and aperture value displayed in the viewfinder and set exposure compensation value—are imprinted between film frames. Note that the Bracketing value in the Auto Exposure Bracketing is not imprinted. Also, Bracketing value is not added to the imprinted compensation value.

With non-CPU lens, aperture is imprinted as ƒ--.

Compatible film speeds for shooting data imprinting are ISO25-3200.

To fit into a slide mount, edges of the film and the imprinted shooting data may be cut off in processing. To avoid this, make sure to have the film processed without cutting.

When shooting data imprint is selected, film advance speed may slow down even when the film advance mode is set to continuous shooting. The film advance speed varies with film sensitivity and temperature; it becomes slower with slower film sensitivity and at lower temperatures.

Liquid crystal illumination is used in imprinting shooting data. Due to slow response characteristics of the liquid crystal, previous data may be imprinted or data imprint may overlap. This tends to occur at lower temperatures. Make sure to release the shutter after shooting data has changed especially with continuous shooting. Also, correct data imprint may not be executed when the brightness, shutter speed or aperture of each frame vary.

c 19: At initial setting, F80S automatically sets the film speed of the loaded film when imprinting shooting data between film frames. However, it can be changed to set manually (page 75).

*Custom Setting Menu 19 can only be selected when the shooting data imprint between film frames is set on the camera.
