Main Switch

The Main Switch of this camera has three positions. When it is set to LOCK,

the camera is turned off. When it is set to AK-L, you can take pictures with a

fixed exposure value on spot metering. When it is set to ON you can take

pictures by measuring exposure on center-weighted metering. Set the switch

depending on the subject you want to shoot. If you are not using the camera,

always set it to LOCK.

LOCK The camera is turned off.

AE-L The camera is turned on and takes pictures on spot metering. If the Shutter Release is depressed halfway, the AE lock is

activated.

ON The camera is turned on and takes pictures on center-weighted metering. Normally, set the Main Switch to ON.

* When the camera is turned on, the shutter speed, aperture and other information will be displayed for 8 seconds in the display

panel and viewfinder.

Loading the Film

Set the Main Switch to ON, open the Camera I Back and load the

film. To open the Camera Back, push down the Camera Back Lock while

pressing in the button on it. To insert the film, first fit the recessed end of

the cassette to the shaft located on top of the film chamber and push it in.

It will thus fit smoothly into position. Always load and unload film in

subdued light.

* If you use DX-coded film, the camera will automatically set itself for

the speed of the film loaded in it.

* Do not touch the shutter curtain and DX contacts.
