About Between-Frames Data Imprint Function

You can imprint data between the frames: * To prevent loss of between-frames data during development, ask the photo lab not to cut the film. * With film advance mode set at CH or at extremely low temperatures, LCD response becomes slow. For data other than Fixed Number, this may cause incorrect data imprinting.

(1) Year/Month/Day/Hour/Minute Date/Time with Caption up to 8 characters Between frames, you can imprint up to eight characters with the Year/Month/Day/Hour, Month/Day/Hour/Minute or Day/Hour/ Minute/Second display.
(2) Year/Month/Day/Hour/Caption up to eight characters
(3) Month/Day/Hour/Minute/Caption up to eight characters
(4) Day/Hour/Minute/Second/Caption up to eight characters
(5) Caption up to 22 characters Between tames, you can imprint up to 22 characters with no other data.

(6) Frame Count-Frame number shown on camera's LCD You can imprint the actual film frame number on the camera's frame counter. As you release the shutter, the number in the Frame Count display increases by one.

(7) Shutter speed/Aperture - shutter speed and aperture set on the camera body

You can imprint the shutter speed and aperture set on the camera. Note: You cannot adjust the displayed data.

Example 1:1/125 sec. and f/5.6

(8) Compensation degree for Auto Exposure Bracketing While performing Auto Exposure Bracketing, you can imprint the compensation degree between frames. You cannot select Compensation Degree for Auto Exposure Bracketing without Auto Exposure Bracketing set on the MF-28,

(9) Caption up to 18 characters/Year (4-digit) Between frames, you can imprint up to 18 characters including the year (four-digits). Inputting "(C)" and the photographer's name, for example, provides the data you need for a copyright. The year indication is taken from date/time setting, and cannot be adjusted using this display.

About CAPTIONs: the MF-28 can input the following characters

W A R N I N G: The new G-SERIES Nikkor lenses have removed the conventional aperture ring on the lense barrel, they CANNOT adjust aperture(s) when operating in manual exposure control even with certain earlier MF/AF Nikon SLR camera models. But they are FULLY COMPATIBLE with the Nikon F5 featured here in all usable metering systems and/or exposure modes. Please refer to your local distributor for compatibility issue(s).
