Motor
Drive
MD·4
One
of the most exciting accessories for the F3AF camera
is
the Motor Drive
MD
-4.
This
amazingly compact, light, and
streamlined unit attaches to the bottom of the camera
in
sec-
onds
and
advances the film either singly or
in
sequence
up
to
6* frames per sec
ond-making
it the fastest regular production
motor drive
on
the market today. Actual controls have been re-
duced
to
only those necessary for convenient operation.
In
addition to the electromagnetic trigger button (which also turns
on
the
camera's meter when depressed halfway), there are its
concentric
SoC
(Single/Continuous) mode selector, a battery
check button and
LED
indicators, two interlocking rewind slides
for automatic film rewinding,
and
a subtractive frame counter
which sto
ps
the motor
at
the desired number of frames. Eight
AA-type penlight batteries fit into a quick-release clip housed
in
the base of the motor drive.
An
optional
NiCd
battery pack
is
available for
use
in
cold weather or when
you
want the fastest
possible firing rate. Once
you
attach
the
MD-4 to your camera,
you'
ll
never want to take
it
off.
The Firing Rate Converter MK-1
is
available
as
a special
accessory for a motor-driven
F3AF.
It
screws into the tripod
socket of the MD-4
and
plugs into the remote terminal to pro-
vide three firing
rates-1,
2,
or 3 frames per
second-a
llowing
you
to
operate the motor drive
on
continuous while the camera
focu
ses
automatically.
It
has its
own
handy trigger button for
use
in
vertical-format shooting.

-4 for shooting up to
250
frames with-
out changing film
is
also available
as
an
option .
