Visual Exposure Indicator
• Only cartridges with the
(unexposed) visual exposure
indicator can be used with this
camera.
• When a cartridge with other than the
visual exposure indicator is
loaded, the camera will rewind the
film and set the cartridge to
(exposed).
• Take along plenty of film cartridges
when traveling to foreign countries
and other areas where cartridge
purchasing may be difficult.
• Do not forcibly move the visual
exposure indicator because this may
damage the cartridge. Using a
damaged cartridge can result in
camera trouble.
