Cautions
in regard
to the
shutter diaphragm
S
The
shutter
diaphragm is a
prccision-made
product.
Do not touch
it
with
your
fingers and do not allow the tip of the
film to touch
it
or
to strike against it. Never operate the shutter
when the
t'ilm
tip is on the shutter diaphragm.
$Wtren
using a blower tb cle-an the
camera, do not apply the air
too strongly. This
presents
the
possibility
of bending or otherwise
damaging
the
shutter
diaphragm. Do
not
use blowers
fitted with
compressed
air tanks.
T.Setting
film
sensitivity
(Fig.
15)
Use
when setting the sensitivity
of film that does not have a
DX
code
or when
you
want to change to a sensitivity
film that
is
different
from the
DX
code
indicated.
