Film
Advance
Lever
@)
The
film advance lever
is
coaxial with the shutter release button
@ and
is
specially contoured to fit the thumb.
To
advance the
film, wind the lever to the right
all
the way until
it
stops. It auto-
matically returns to the standoff position the moment
you
take
your thumb off it. One complete stroke or a series of shorter
ones advances the film by a single frame and simultaneously
cocks the shutter.
At
the end of the film roll,
the
lever stops working.
Do
not attempt
to
wind the lever further; just rewind the film.
Note:
If
the lever becomes difficult to operate
at
the beginning
of
the
roll, this means that the film
is
not winding onto the takeup spool
@pro
p-
erly. In this case, rewind the film immediately and load the film again.
Frame
Counter
Q§)
To
keep track of the number of exposed frames, the frame
counter
is
graduated from two frames below 0
up
to
40.
Blue
numerals appear every 5 frames (0, 5,
10
, etc.), with dots
in
between. White marks at
12
,
20
,
24
, and 36 indicate the number
of frames available
on
most film cartridges. When making blank
shots with the shutter speed dial
@ set
to
"A," the shutter will
fire at
1/80 sec. until the frame counter reaches the first frame.
In
addition, the
LCD
shows
80
in
the finder. Or, if
you
set the dial
manually between
1/125 and 1/2000 sec., the shutter will still
fire at
1/80 sec.
In
the finder,
an
M
80
is
displayed. However, if
the speed
is
manually set to 1/80 sec. (X) or below, the shutter
will fire
at
the speed set with the
LCD
indicating that speed.
Therefore, to speed
up
film loading, set the dial to A or to 1/125
sec. or above.
When
the camera back @
is
opened, the frame counter auto-
matically resets to two frames below zero.
