LCD panel
A
The various functions are accessed by repeatedly pressing the
function selector button (loop menu) and changes made by the
‘changeup’ and ‘changedown’ buttons. Any settings are auto
matically saved. At very low temperatures the LCD will require a
few seconds to display new settings.
LCD illumination button
B
The LCD can be illuminated by pressing the display illumination
button, which is accessible when the magazine is not attached to
the camera. The LCD will remain illuminated all the time you keep
the button depressed, up to a maximum of 10 seconds. After 10
seconds has expired, you must release the pressure on the button
and press again to obtain a further 10 second period of illumina
tion. Remember that using the illumination function very often
will noticeably shorten the life of the battery in the magazine.
When the magazine is attached to the camera, the button on the
magazine is inaccessible but you can still illuminate the LCD by
pressing the illumination button on the grip instead.
Change up button

Can change the settings ‘upwards’. For example, to increase the
film speed setting. Toggle action.
Change down button
D
Can change the settings ‘downwards’. For example, to decrease
the film speed setting. Toggle action.
Function selector
E

functions are on a menu loop so that repeated pressing of the se
lector button will successively access all functions in turn. After a
timeout of five seconds of nonactivity, the display returns to the
main screen.

in the magazine. Used for calculations in critical applications.
