Options

: 4 sec.

: 16 sec.
At default setting, the exposure meter automatically turns off 6 sec. after
turning the power switch on or lightly pressing the shutter release button.
However, it can be changed to 4 sec., 8 sec. or 16 sec. (Note that the usable
number of film rolls per batteries decreases with the longer delay time for
auto meter-switch-off since it consumes more power.)

Options
2
: 2 sec.
5
: 5 sec.
10
: 10 sec. (initial setting)

At default setting, the shutter is released 10 sec. after the shutter release
button is fully depressed in self-timer operation. However, this can be
changed to 2, 5, or 20 sec.

With optional Data Back MF-29, data (year/month/day/hour/minute) can be

frame #1 on, cancel the data imprint on the MF-29 after film is automatically
advanced to the first frame.

: Aperture value remains (initial setting)
1
: Aperture step from the lens’ maximum remains unchanged
When a Micro Nikkor lens is extended or the focal length is changed with a
zoom lens in which maximum aperture varies with focal length, the aperture
value set with the Sub-Command Dial remains. However, it can be changed
to keep the aperture steps from the lens’ maximum aperture (in Aperture-
Priority Auto or Manual exposure mode).
