EXAMPLE
Film Speed Setting / Bar code
The film speed (ISO / ASA) can be set automatically or manually.
Automatic setting uses a Bar code (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 Bar code 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 bar coded film.
Films without a bar code must have their speed set manually.
A manual setting must also be made if you want to override the
speed setting of a bar coded film.
To access Manual setting:
1 Ensure the magazine settings lock is in the unlocked
position.
2 Press the button until a figure (or bar code 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 bar coded films (or overridden
bar coded 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 bar code, then film
length setting (and film speed setting) is automatic. The LCD will
automatically show the bar code symbol and the appropriate film
length. (Note that film speed can be overridden with bar coded
films, but not film length).
If, however, the film has no bar code 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.
