DATA MEMORY

When data memory is selected, the following information about each
photograph is stored at the time of exposure:
FILM AREAS
The data from each of the 9 rolls of film is stored separately in nine
different areas called "film areas". The first roll of film is stored in film
area 1, the second in film area 2, and so on. When all the data areas
are full, information from the next roll of film will be stored in data area
1, erasing the previous data.
• Film area selection is automatic. It is not possible to select a certain film
area on to which you want to record.

Film Areas
Data memory can store information from 9 rolls of film with up to
40 exposures on each roll.
• Aperture • Lens focal length • Exposure compensation
• Shutter speed • Flash status (on/off) • Flash compensation (if used)
• Bracketing/flash bracketing (on/off)
When all 9 film areas are full, will appear in
the data panel as a warning before Film Area 1
is overwritten.
The old information in the data area is
overwritten one frame at a time. A frame
between the old and the new information is
erased and left blank.
• This warning appears only when the film area changes from 9 to 1. The
warning disappears after the first exposure is made.
