Things to Watch
*
When using the AE Prism Finder FE401
When using this finder it is imperative that the
Film Speed Dial on the Roll Film Holder is prop-
erly set for the ISO number of the loaded film, as
it interfaces with this finder. If not done, wrong
exposures may result.
*When the mirror is locked in the up position.
* The Focal Plane Shutter Curtain may be dam-
aged if the camera faces strong light sources,
especially the sun. Return mirror to normal po-
sition or cap lens
to
prevent such damage.

Cold Temperature Photography
a. Use a fresh lithium battery
b. Utilize the External Battery Case accessory.
(Permits battery to be placed inside clothing).
Batteries that fail at low temperatures may still
be used at normal temperatures. However fre-
quent temperature changes shortens
battery life.
c. Avoid sudden temperature changes when going
indoors, to prevent moisture condensation on
camera and
lenses. (Also important for film
protection).
