Imprinting data at low temperatures
• Liquid crystal is used for imprinting data to the film. Because liquid crystal tends to
become slower at low temperatures, note the following when imprinting data
under 0°C or 32°F:
In-frame and between-frame imprint
• Release the shutter more than 2 sec. after power is turned on (or exposure
meter is on) and before the exposure meter turns off. If the shutter is released
before 2 sec., data may not be imprinted correctly.
• Wait for more than 2 sec. before taking next shot. Otherwise, the data for a
given frame may be imprinted twice at the same location (or mistakenly printed
to a second frame).
0-frame imprint
• Load film (advance the film to the first frame) more than 2 sec. after power is
turned on (or exposure meter is on) and before the exposure meter turns off. If
the film is advanced to the first frame before 2 sec., data may not be imprinted
correctly.
Film advance speed in data imprint shooting
• When imprinted data other than date, date and time or user index number is
selected, film advance speed tends to slow down even at normal temperatures if C
L
(continuous low-speed) or CH (continuous high-speed) film advance mode is
selected.
• To prevent the slowdown of the film advance speed, select either date, date and
time or user index number only, or cancel data imprint.
• Film advance speed depends on film sensitivity, temperature and imprint density
(selected in Custom Setting “d8: Imprint density, x 103); it slows down when
low-sensitivity film is loaded, at low temperatures and darker imprint density is
selected.
• Even when the date, date and time or user index number only is selected for
imprinting data, film advance speed slows down if the film sensitivity is slower than
ISO 160 or imprint density is set to “+2” in CH
(continuous high-speed) shooting.
Processing film with between-frame imprint
• Film may be cut in film processing, including your imprint data (or even the photo
image itself). To avoid this, make sure to have the entire film roll processed in one
piece.
