Multiple
exposure
lever
@l
Double
or
multiple
exposures
are
easy
to
accomplish
with
the
F3's
multiple
exposure
lever.
Follow this
procedure
:
1.
Take
the
first shot.
2.
Then
to
reco
ck
the
shutter
without
advancing
the
film,
push
the
multiple
exposure
lever
forward (Fig. 1),
and
stroke
the
advance
lever.
Immediately
the
multiple
exposure
lever
will
spring
back
to its
normal
position
(Fig. 2).
3. Now
you're
ready
to
take
the
second
shot
on
the
same
frame.
For
more
than
two shots
on
the
same
frame, just
repeat
the
same
procedure
for
each
additional
ex-
posure.
When
you've finished, simply
advance
the
film
normally
to
the
next
frame
.
Note: While
making
multiple exposures, the frame
counter
doesn't
advance.
Batteries
When
battery
power
fails,
the
camera's
exposure
meter
stops working
and
the
shutter
won't work
either
unless
you
use
the
backup
mechanical
r
elease
l
ever.
For
this
reason,
it is a
good
idea
to
carry
an
extra
set
of
batteries
with you
whenever
you set
out
to
take
pictures.
Und
er
normal
usage,
one
set of 1.5V silver-o
xide
batteries
(Eveready
EPX76
or
equivalent)
will last for
about
one
year.
Try not to
touch
the
+
or
-
surfaces
of
the
batteries
as
this
many
result in
poor
el
ectrical
contact.
If
you
do
get
fingerprints
on
the
battery
terminals, wipe
them
off with a soft cloth.
At below-freezing
temperatures,
battery
performance
deteriorates.
The
use
of a fresh set of
batteries
is
recom-
mended
to
ensure
reliable
service
at
low
temperatures.
In
extremely
cold
climates, it is r
ecommended
to
use
the
F3 in
conjunction
with
the
MD-4 Motor Drive. With the
motor
drive
attached,
the
came
ra
gets
all its
power
from
the
batteries
in
the
motor
drive.
Thus,
if
you
use
a
NiCd
battery
,
the
camera
/motor
drive
will
operate
down
to
-20°C.
Not
e:
At
-10°C
or below, the LCD
may
exhibit a slight delay in response
time. This
is
natural
and
should
be
no couse
for
concern. However,
exposure to e
xtr
emely
high temperatures
(BO°C
and
above)
may
actually
shorten
th
e life
of
the LCD.
