| Shutter Release |
Two shutter buttons are provided on the motor drive for maximum ease of handling. For horizontal shots, use the shutter button on top of the grip. Use the shutter button on the side of the Battery Pack FN or Ni-Cd Pack for vertical shots. Of course, the camera's shutter button can also be used.
The shutter buttons are provided with lock levers. The shutter button on top of the
grip can be locked by pulling up and turning the mode selector to OFF. To lock the
shutter button on the battery pack or Ni-Cd pack, turn the lever so the red "L"
is aligned with the white dot. This is recommended to prevent accidental shutter
release when carrying the camera. The three shutter release locking devices function
independently of each another. Even if the camera's shutter release lock lever is
aligned with ''L," for example, either of the motor drive's shutter buttons
can still be used to release the shutter.

The shutter will not operate in the following cases: |
| Rewinding the Film |
Film winding stops
automatically and the warning lamp lights up when the frame counter reaches "0".'
Rewind the film immediately after the lamp lights up.
1. Pushing the lock release button, slide the power rewind lever in the direction
of the arrow as shown until it locks. The motor drive's frame counter will automatically
return to "S." The warning lamp goes out and power film rewinding begins
as soon as the lever is locked. For quick one-handed release, simply slide the power
rewind lever with your thumb while push~ng the lock release button down.
 |
2. When power film rewinding is completed, the warning lamp will light up. Push the lock release; the power rewind lever will return to its former position and the warning lamp will go out. |
3. Open the camera back and take out the film.
Notes: 1. The film may be rewound manually ir the usual manner.
2. Rewind the film immediately or turn off the mode selector when film transport stops and the warning lamp lights up. Otherwise, the warning lamp will remain on and drain the batteries.
3. It is not necessary to press the camera's rewind lever for power rewinding.
4. The film will not advance if the camera's rewind lever is engaged. If accidentally engaged, release it by lightly pressing the camera's shutter button before loading the next film.
5. Take care not to rewind the film accidentally while the shutter curtains are open during a long exposure.
6. Do not inadvertently press the camera's shutter button during power film rewinding when there is no battery in the camera. This will re-expose a portion of the film.
7. After dismounting the AE Motor Drive FN from the camera, do not forget to remove the lens' aperture ring from the "A" mark if there is a battery in the camera. Otherwise, the camera's automatic safety circuit will prevent shutter release.
