Film loading
Automatic film speed setting
This camera is designed to use DX-coded films with
ISO ratings from 25 to 5000.
We suggest that you first operate the camera with no film loaded to
become familiar with its operations.
When DX-coded film is used, the correct film speed is automatically set
for the camera. If you use a non-DX coded film, you can set the film
speed manually. ( p.36)

after purchase, open the back cover
and remove the protective sheet.
Be careful not to touch the shutter cur-
tains with the protective sheet.
Always load and unload film in the
shade or by using your body to shade
the camera.
