If exposure is nevertheless released, the selected
aperture and shutter speed settings are activated,
regardless of the camera mode chosen.
In the case of discrepancy between the manually
set film speed and the DX-code, the manually set
value becomes operative. The warning symbol
lights up at right in the viewfinder display.
Setting the film speed manually
To set the film speed in ISO units, press the
release button [20] and turn the setting ring [18]
at the same time until the window [19] displays
the required film speed in ASA.
The setting range covers all values from ISO 6/9°
to ISO 12800/42° inclusive.
(However, only the ASA-value is displayed,
i.e. "6" to "12800")
Rewinding and removing the exposed film
Exposure of the last frame blocks the action of
the quick-wind lever. Rewind the film into its
cartridge before removing it from the camera.
Press the rewind release button [39] in the
camera's baseplate, hinge out the rewind crank
[17] and turn it clockwise in the direction
indicated by the arrow until you feel a slight
resistance as the film is pulled out of the take-up
spool. Pull up the rewind crank and knob to open
the camera back, and remove the cartridge with
the exposed film.
