CAMERA-CONTROL MODES (Function H)
The Multi-Function Back has three modes —
INTERVAL, FRAMES, LONG EXPOSURE -
usable alone or in combination to control the
X-700's shutter. The modes are explained in the
table at right, and examples of their use are
given on page 14. Setting of the modes and
operation of camera control are as follows:
1. Press the[
F II
] key to change the display
to Function II.
2. Press the [ MODE ] key repeatedly until the
mode you wish to set is displayed; then set
the mode in the same way as for DATE
mode (see p. 11).
3. Set the other FII modes as desired. In order
for Function II to operate, FRAMES must
be set at 00 00 01 or higher. INTERVAL
and LONG EXPOSURE should be set at
00 00 00 if you do not wish to use them.
4. If you wish to have data imprinted automa¬
tically each time a shutter-release signal is
given to the camera, set the data-imprint
switch at "AUTO". Data from the most
recently displayed — not the most recently
set — FI mode will be imprinted. If you do
not wish to have data imprinted, turn the
switch off.
5. Check that the camera (as well as motor
drive and flash if being used) are set as
desired.
6. Press the[
S
] key to start camera con-
trol. (If an FI mode was displayed, press the
(
F II
] key first.) The first shutter-release
signal will be given to the camera within one
second after the (
S
] key is pressed.
NOTES
• Camera-control settings in effect can be re¬
viewed at any time during FII operation by
pressing the [ MODE ] key.
• If you wish to cancel camera control before
or during operation, press the(
F I
]key. FII
operation can also be stopped temporarily by
turning the camera's main switch off. However,
operation may resume as soon as the switch is
turned on again.
• If your head is not shielding the eyepiece
from
light
during
FII
operation, use
the
camera's eyepiece cap.
