Nikon F3 High-Eyepoint - Multiple Exposure Lever; Batteries

-CONTROLS IN DETAIL-continued.----------
Multiple exposure lever ®
Double or multiple exposures are easy to accomplish with
the F3 High-Eyepoint camera's multiple exposure lever.
Follow this
procedure:
1. Take the first shot.
2.
Then to recock 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 fr ame, just
repeat the same procedure for each additional ex-
posure. When you've finished, simply advance the film
normally to the next frame. While making multiple
exposures, the frame counter doesn't advance.
Note: In mu ltiple ex posure ph otography, the F3 H ig h-Eyepoint camera is
d
esigned to red uce film dislocalion to the minimum. But it may occur due
to film curling, film slack or i napp ropriate film winding.

Batteries
When battery power fails, the camera's exposure meter
.stops working and the shutter won't work either un less
you
use the backup mechanical release lever. For this
reason, it is a good idea to carry an extra set of batteries
with you whenever you set out to take pictures .
Un der normal usage, one set of I.SSV silver-oxide
batteries ( Everead y EPX76 or equivalent) will l ast for
about one year. Try not to touch the + or - surfaces of the
batteries as this may result in poor electrical 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 temperi'\tures.
In extremely cold climates, it is recommended to use the
F3 High-Eyepoint camera in conjun ction with the MD-4
Motor Drive. With
the motor drive attached , the camera
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 .
