MULTIPLE EXPOSURE 1 i• Setting multiple exposure is possible by pushing and simultaneously turning the multi-exposure ring in the direction of the arrow. When the shutter is released while in this state, the first exposure is made. Repeat the same for the second or third exposure, so that multiple exposure can be made on the same frame; only the shutter is cocked without film being advanced. The multi-exposure ring (M.E.) will automatically return to its original position immediately after shutter releasing function. When cancelling multiple exposure, simply return the multi-exposure ring to its former position. After loading film, multiple exposure should not be operated until the external LCD window exposure counter (EX) reads out "1" or larger. Should the shutter be accidentally released in this state, the motor will merely continue to run idly for about 30 seconds without winding the film. In this case, turn off the main switch, take out the film holder once and cancel the multi-exposure ring setting. Then, newly start the correct procedure. Set the C/S switch to S position when using the multiple exposure. M.E. = Multiple Exposures Multiple exposure operational sequence: 1. Set the multi-exposure ring 2. Initial photographing of the subject 3. Reset the multi-exposure ring 4. Secondary photographing of desired subject. By repeating the steps 3 and 4, multiple shots on a single frame are possible. Exposure counter indicator will remain stationary. To return to normal shooting, just release the shutter without setting the multi-exposure ring. 59
