Non-DX also applies to DX-coded films, for which the camera cannot read the
DX identification, e.g. due to damage or soiling.

Different displays at low battery power (see also the section "Automatic
battery check” on p. 72 for details).

Does not flash if set ISO-speed plus compensation value equals DX-value.

High speed values along with the compensations may result in effective ISO
values greater than 8 000 (e.g. ISO 6 400/39° +

EV => ISO 10000/41°),
i.e. five-digit values, that cannot be shown by the four-digit display. In such
cases, the first four digits of the resulting value are shown, with the right ze-
ro flashing to show that there is a "missing” zero, e.g. for the above example
