6: 6 sec. (initial setting)

8 : 8 sec.

At default setting, the exposure meter automatically turns off 6 sec. after turning the power switch on or lightly pressing the shutter release button. However, it can be changed to 4 sec., 8 sec. or 16 sec. (Note that the usable number of film rolls per batteries decreases with the longer delay time for auto meter-switch-off since it consumes more power.)

Options 2 : 2 sec.

5: 5 sec.

10: 10 sec. (initial setting)

20: 20 sec.

Options 0: Disabled (initial setting) 1: Enabled

With optional Data Back MF-29, data (year/month/day/hour/minute) can be set to be imprinted on frame #0. To imprint data on frame #0 only and not on frame #1 on, cancel the data imprint on the MF-29 after film is automatically advanced to the first frame.

19.Aperture control (pages 50-53)

	Options 0: Aperture value remains (initial setting)
	1: Aperture step from the lens’ maximum remains unchanged
	When a Micro Nikkor lens is extended or the focal length is changed with a
	zoom lens in which maximum aperture varies with focal length, the aperture
	value set with the Sub-Command Dial remains. However, it can be changed
	to keep the aperture steps from the lens’ maximum aperture (in Aperture-
74	Priority Auto or Manual exposure mode).

Example: When AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-210mm f/4-5.6 is attached and f/8 (two
steps from the maximum aperture of f/4) at 70mm is set on the lens,
	Setting
zooming up to 210mm does not change the aperture of f/8 with “0: Aperture
value remains” setting. However, when the “1: Aperture step from the lens’
maximum remains” is selected, aperture changes to f/11, two steps from the	Custom
maximum aperture of f/5.6 at 210mm.
