ADJUSTMENT SEQUENCE:
1. Auto speeds
Variable resistor A set: ASA 100, X1 compensation, f/8. With 2.8V
supplied to the battery compartment, the shutter should deliver the
following shutter speeds ath the indicated light levels:
EV12 1/60 second
EV16 1/1000 second
EV8 1/4 second
2. Meter Readout
EV 12 and 16 Adjust variable resistor B
EV8 Adjust variable resistor C
Later versions of the flex circuit board have only one meter readout
adjustment, Fig. 8.
3. Battery test
Adjust variable resistor D for proper operation. Later versions of
the flex circuit do not have the batery test adjustment. It is then
only necessary to make an operational check.
AVOID DISTURBING:
Variable resistor VR-E on the menory circuit board (not
accessible until the flex circuit has been removed). In some
versions of the flex circuit, VR-E is at the top of the camera.
