Specifications

The film may not load properly if the film leader does not lie flat. Make sure that the film lies flat as shown. (Fig. 18)
4. Close the back cover so that the back cover latch snaps shut and returns to
the original position. (Fig. 19) If the film has been properly loaded, the film
speed appears on the LCD panel for about 2 seconds. Then, the exposure
counter displays "1". (Fig. 20)
· If the display on the LCD panel disappears, lightly press the shutter button
to turn on the power and update the LGD panel.
· The ISO setting on the LCD panel can be checked by looking through the
film loaded window on the back cover of the camera (applicable when the
Data Back is not attached). The current ISO setting can be determined also
by turning the mode dial to select the ISO User Setting mode.
5. If the film has not advanced properly or is not taken up onto the film
take-up spool, the exposure counter flashes "0". The shutter will lock also to
prevent you from taking a picture until the film is loaded properly.
(Applicable for DX coded films only.) Reload the film by repeating steps 1-
4 as described above. (Fig. 21)
· If non-Ding films are loaded in this camera, no LCD warnings will appear
and the shutter can be released. (The film speed must be set manually also.
If not, non DX films will be set to the default 100 film speed setting.)4www.butkus.org
12. SETTING THE FILM SPEED AUTOMATICALLY
DX-coded films have black-and-silver patterns corresponding to film speeds
that the camera reads and sets automatically. Your camera accepts DX films
with speeds ranging from ISO 25-5000. (Fig. 22)
DX Films
The film speed and the "ISO" indicator are briefly displayed on the LCD
panel.
For advanced applications, you may wish to raise or lower the ISO speed of
a DX-coded film. You can override the automatic ISO setting manually
