36 LOADING FILM 5 Close the back cover and turn the main switch to ON. The film will advance to frame 1 automatically and the LCD panel will display the exposure counter 1 and film status information. 6 If the film is not loaded properly, blinks on the LCD panel. Open the back cover and load the film again. ✍ MEMO • We suggest that you first operate the camera with no film loaded to become familiar with its operations. • Always load and unload the film in the shade or avoid direct sunshine. • The shutter curtains are made from fine precision material. Do not touch them with your fingers or any other object while loading the film. • Automatic film speed setting When DX-coded film is used, the correct film speed is automatically set for the camera. If you use a non-DX coded film, you can set the film speed manually. See page 52. • Infrared film cannot be used. This camera uses infrared rays to detect film transport so infrared film may be exposed.
