SETTING THE ASA FILM SPEED DIAL

Lift up the outer collar of the exposure com- pensation dial and rotate until the ASA speed for the film appears in the window.

The ASA film speed scale on the dial is mark-

ed from 12 to 1600. If you are not able to rotate the outer collar to the desired ASA in

one turn of the dial (only 3 stops can be rotated

in one turn of the dial), release the collar and turn the exposure compensation dial several click stops in the opposite direction from the ASA you are trying to set. Then, lift the outer collar again and continue turning to the desir-

ed ASA setting. NEVER FORCE THE DIAL

WHEN SETTING ASA.

Once the setting has been made, turn the dial until the white line is aligned with the black index line on the pentaprism housing.

CAUTION: Make sure you align the white line

with the black index line on the pentaprism after setting ASA.

HOLDER
