Multiple exposure lever
@l
Double or multiple exposures are easy to accomplish with
the F3's multiple exposure lever. Follow this procedure :
1. Take the first shot.
2. Then to recoc k the shutter without advancing the film,
push the multiple exposure lever forward (Fig .
1),
and
stroke the advance lever. Immediately the multiple
exposure lever will spring back to its normal position
(Fig . 2).
3 . Now you're ready to take the second shot on the same
frame . For more than two shots on the same frame , just
repeat the same procedure for each additional ex-
posure. When you've finished, simply advance the film
normally to the next frame .
Note: While making multiple exposures, the frame counter doesn't
advance.
Batteries
When battery power fails, the camera's exposure meter
stops working and the shutter won't work either unless
you use the backup mechanical release lever. For this
reason, it is a good idea to carry an extra set of batteries
with you whenever you set out to take pictures.
Under normal usage, one set of 1.5V silver-oxide
batteries (Eveready EPX76 or equivalent) will last for
about one year. Try not to touch the
+
or - surfaces of the
batteries as this many result in poor e lectrical contact.
If
you do get fingerprints on the battery terminals, wipe
them off with a soft cloth.
At below-freezing temperatures, battery performance
deteriorates. The use of a fresh set of batteries is recom-
mended to ensure reliable service at low temperatures.
In extremely cold climates, it is recommended to use the
F3 in conjunction with the MD-4 Motor Drive . With the
motor drive attached, the camera gets all its power from
the batteries in the motor drive. Thus, if you use a NiCd
battery , the camera/motor drive will operate down
to
-20°C.
Note:
At -10°C or below, the LCD may exhibit a slight delay in response
time. This
is
natural and should be no couse for concern. However,
exposure to extremely high temperatures (BO°C and above) may actually
shorten the life of the LCD.
