B. The numbers on the shutter speed scale are divided into red and
white colors. Red-colored numbers are full number settings of 1 sec-
ond and longer while white-colored numbers are from ½ to 1/500
second.
* The shutter speed setting can be changed before or after the film is
advanced.
* When the ME Prism Finder S or MF Finder S is attached, the settings
"16S" and "B" (bulb) cannot be used. (This is because the electrical cir-
cuit is switched automatically so that shutter speeds are controlled
with the shutter speed dials of the finders.
A. Depress the electro-magnetic shutter release button with the ball
of the finger. Use a smooth, gentle action. A red-colored LED will
light up momentarily in the front central area of the finder and will
indicate that the exposure has been completed, when the shutter is
released. Light up of the LED should be checked, especially when
using slower shutter speeds. In the following cases, the shutter will
not be released and the shutter release warning LED will light up,
except in the first instance:
1. Shutter release button is locked.
2. Dark slide is inserted.
3. Film is not advanced. (Same when exposure counter is between "S"
and "1".
4. Shutter is not cocked.
5. Lens is not attached properly. (Same with automatic extension
tubes)
6. Lens release button is depressed.
7. All frames (i.e. 12 frames for 120 roll film and 24 for 220 roll film)
have been exposed.
* The shutter blades will close and there will be an under-exposure if
the film-winding crank is accidentally rotated before the exposure is
completed, in the case of a slow shutter speed setting. In this case, the
next frame may also be exposed and result in an improper exposure
as well.
