<Shutter Speed Scale> The numbers in black at the right of the viewfinder indicate the camera's shutter speeds
in fractions of seconds (e.g. "1" = 1 second, "2" = 1/2 second, "125" = 1/125 second, ... "1000" = 1/1000
second). The red "2" means 2 seconds, and the "LT" means automatic "longtime" exposures up to 11 seconds.
"B" indicates underexposure or use of the B (Bulb) shutter selector setting, and "OVER" indicates
overexposure.
Film rewind
When all frames on a roll of film have been exposed, you will be
unable to operate the film advance lever. Do not attempt to
advance the film further, as tom film may result Check the
exposure counter, and when it shows you have completed a roll of
film, always be sure to rewind the film into its cassette before
opening the camera back. After removing the film, have it
processed as early as possible.
1. Press the film rewind release button on the base of the camera.
Continuous pressing is unnecessary as the button is an automatically
resetting type.
2. Unfold the film rewind crank and turn it in the direction of the
arrow. Keep turning until you feel a light resistance shortly before the
film comes off the take-up spool and continue turning until the crank
eventually rotates freely.4www.butkus.org
Light metering system
The FX-70 Quartz features a TTL fall-aperture metering system
that measures the light coming through the lens at the lens's
fully open (largess aperture. The light meter is a "center-
weighted" type, meaning that the meter primarily measures
subject brightness at the center of the viewfinder, giving less
emphasis to surrounding areas.
The metering method is "aperture priority", meaning that once the
film speed and lens aperture have been set, shutter speed is
controlled automatically in response to subject brightness, to give
correctly exposed photographs. The shutter speed at time of exposre
is indicated by the LED display inside the viewfinder.
