film speed is set automatically. This type of film will
have a DX mark on its package and/or a DX information
panel on its cartridge.
• The automatic ISO film-speed setting for DX film is
available only for film with an ISO rating between 25
and 5000. so make sure you use film in this range.
• If the automatic ISO film-speed setting for DX film is
cancelled by the override mechanism described at right,
the DX mark on the CENTIC panel will blink to
warn you.

When loading film that is not DX-coded, make sure you
set the ISO film speed indicated on the package manually.

the ISO position, the ISO film speed of the film used
previously is Indicated on the CENTIC panel. While
holding the compensation switch at this position, slide
the select switch to the UP or Down position to set the
desired film speed. One move of the select switch either
increases or decreases the film speed by t/3 of a step in
the range between ISO 6 and ISO 6400, If the select
switch is held at one position, the speed is changed
continuously.
