FILM SPEED SETTING / BARCODE
The film speed (ISO / ASA) can be set automatically or manu-
ally. Automatic setting uses a Barcode (only some films have
this feature, notably Fujifilm). This is the default setting.
 Film settings (ISO / film length) are automatic only if the
magazine is set at Barcode automatic. That is, a bar-
coded film cannot override a manual film speed setting
but a manual setting can override the film speed of a
barcoded film.
 Films without a barcode must have their speed set man-
ually. A manual setting must also be made if you want
to override the speed setting of a barcoded film.
To access Manual setting:
1) Ensure the magazine settings lock is in the unlocked
position.
2) Press the button until a figure (or barcode symbol)
appears together with ISO.
3) Press either the or the button to reach the required
setting.
4) The new setting will be saved automatically after a time
out of five seconds.
5) Return the LCD settings lock to the locked position.
NOTE: If you use both standard and barcoded films (or over-
ridden barcoded films), check that you have changed the
settings accordingly.
 FILM LENGTH/NUMBER OF FRAMES
Both 120 and 220 films can be used. 120 film will produce 8 (for use with ‘half-
length’ 120 films only) or 16 frames and 220 film will produce 32 frames.
If the film has a barcode, then film length setting (and film speed setting) is auto-
matic. The LCD will automatically show the barcode symbol and the appropriate
film length. (Note that film speed can be overridden with barcoded films, but not
film length).
If, however, the film has no barcode then proceed as follows:
To access film type setting:
1) Ensure the magazine settings lock is in the unlocked position.
2) Press the button until the 120 or 220 symbol appears.
3) Press either the or the button to change the desired
setting.
4) The new setting will be saved automatically after timeout.
5) Return the magazine settings lock to the locked position.
