3. Seal the film with its included adhesive label.
4. Move the empty spool from the Film Insert’s top compartment to its lower compartment. This will prepare

Mirror Lock-up Photography
Photographing with the mirror in the up position substantially
reduces camera shake (vibrations) when the mirror returns to its
down position.
This technique is especially useful when photographing at slow
shutter speeds and when using long lenses. Under these conditions,
any vibration could result in a blurred image.
1. After you have composed and focused your image, move the
Mirror Lock-Up Lever to its ‘M.UP’ position. In this position,
the image in the Viewfinder is blacked out.
2. Complete the exposure.
3. To return to normal photography, move the Mirror-Up Lever to its white circle position.
Photographing in AE Mode
1. Set the Shutter Speed Dial to its ‘AEL’ position.
2. Press the Shutter Release Button down halfway, and then lock the mirror in the up position. In AE Mode,
correct exposures may only be obtained when the Shutter Speed Dial is set to its ‘AEL’ position.
3. To return to normal photography, move the Mirror-Up Lever to its white circle position.
Multiple Exposure Photography
Moving the Multiple Exposure Lever to its ‘MULTI’ position disengages
the multiple-exposure prevention mechanism.
When this mechanism is disengaged, turning the Film Advance Crank
cocks the shutter, but the film will not be advanced to the next frame
and the Film Counter will not increment.
To return to normal photography, move the Multiple Exposure Lever
to its white circle position.
