1 Before loading and winding the film, set the exposure mode dial
to 100X. Leave it at this setting until after the film has been wound
to the first exposure.

exposure mode dial set to AUTO. But, in this case, after closing the
back cover, you must remove the lens cap and point the camera

removing the lens cap, inor¬
dinately long exposures will
