Cautions in regard to the shutter
diaphragm
The shutter diaphragm is a precision-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
film tip is on the shutter diaphragm.
When using a blower to clean 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.
7. 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.
Raise and turn the ISO/Exposure control dial ,
set to the sensitivity of the film being used and
align the film sensitivity indicator with the index.
Film sensitivity can be set in one-third steps
from ISO-6 to 6400.
When you want to return to automatic setting
for the loading of DX film set the index on the
letters "DX".
If the film that is loaded does not have a DX
code and the ISO/exposure control dial is set to
DX, all sensitivities for film loaded will be set to
ISO100.
That will be held until the film sensitivity is reset.
If the film is set to the sensitivity that you want,
the values will be manually set even if DX
coded film is used.
