Cock the shutter while holding down the lever. Operate the multi-exposure lever before you cock the shutter. The frames may be misaligned if you take a picture in the MultipleExposure Mode. When the film is wound halfway, you can release a finger from the multiexposure lever. The lever stays in the lock position and the film counter indicator blinks.

The film counter indicators in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel stop blinking. To expose the third shot, set the multi-exposure lever in the lock position in the same manner as step 1 after taking the second shot. When using the Multi-Exposure Mode, you usually get the best results using a flash to illuminate the main subject against a dimly-lit background. If you want to cancel it, cover the lens with the cap, set the shutter speed to 1/1000 of a second, set the aperture to the minimum value, and depress the shutter release button in a dark place. When making the multi-exposures on the last frame of the film, E appears on the LCD panel after the first-exposure is made and then [10] or [21] appears when the shutter is cocked for second exposure while holding down the multi-exposure lever. 46 ADVANCED OPERATION Selecting an Exposure Mode Using the Aperture-Priority AE Mode When the desired aperture is selected, the camera automatically selects an appropriate shutter speed for a proper exposure. 1 Set the lens aperture ring to the desired f-stop position. 2 Turn the shutter speed dial to b while holding down the shutter speed dial lock button. 47 ADVANCED OPERATION 3 The shutter speed dial can be released from b to another position while holding down the shutter speed dial lock button.

When the shutter release button is depressed halfway down, the shutter speed, the metering mode, and the film counter indicator will be displayed in the viewfinder. The exposure level is memorized and n is displayed in the viewfinder. As soon as the memory lock button h is depressed, the camera stores the measured exposure level for 20 seconds even if the memory lock button h is released.
