Film Advance Lever
@)
The film advance lever is coaxial
with
the
shutter
release button
@
and is
specially
contoured to fit the thumb.
To
advance the
film
,
wind the lever to the right all the way until it
stops.
It
auto-
matically returns to the
standoff
position the moment you take
your thumb off it. One complete
stroke
or a series of shorter
ones advances the film by a single frame and simultaneously
cocks the
shutter.
At
the
end of
the film
roll
,
the lever
stops working
.
Do
not attempt
to wind
the
lever
further; just rewind the
film
.
Note
:
If
the lever becomes difficult to operate
at
the beginning of the
roll,
this
means
that the
film
is
not winding
onto the
takeup
spool
@prop-
erly.
In
this
case, rewind
the film
immediately and
load the film
again.
Frame Counter
Q§)
To
keep track of the number of exposed frames, the frame
counter is graduated from two frames below 0 up to 40.
Blue
numerals appear every 5
frames
(0, 5,
10,
etc.), with
dots
in
between.
White
marks at
12, 20, 24,
and 36
indicate
the number
of
frames
available on
most
film
cartridges.
When making blank
shots with the shutter speed dial
@
set to
"A,"
the
shutter
will
fire at
1/80
sec. until
the frame
counter
reaches
the first frame.
In
addition, the
LCD
shows 80
in the
finder. Or,
if you set the
dial
manually between 1/125
and
1/2000
sec.,
the
shutter will still
fire at 1/80
sec.
In
the
finder,
an
M
80 is
displayed.
However,
if
the
speed is manually set to 1/80 sec. (X) or
below,
the shutter
will
fire at
the
speed set with
the LCD
indicating that speed.
Therefore,
to
speed up
film
loading, set
the dial to A or
to 1/125
sec.
or
above.
When
the camera back
@
is opened,
the
frame counter auto-
matically resets to two frames
below
zero.
