year, hours and minutes (the selected position flashes). Turn the rear dial to set the 
value. 
4. After setting the date and time, press the “SET” Button for about 2 seconds to

4. After setting the index number, press the “SET” Button for about 2 seconds to 
register the setting. 
*The index number is displayed as a 3-digit number. Data on the number of 
photos taken is stored in the camera, so the numbers of the photos continue to 
increment when the magazine is removed and replaced with a different magazine. 
This function is convenient for managing large amounts of film. 
*The starting index number can be set at will. For example, when shooting in 
different places or for different purposes, you can classify the photos by 
changing the starting number any of the digits. 
*Once the total number of photos taken reaches 999, counting starts over from 
001. 000 can also be set using the index number setting procedure. 
*After 60 seconds or when another priority button is pressed, the index number 
setting mode is canceled and the setting is not registered in memory. 
Custom settings remain in the memory even when the shutter release mode 
selector lever is set to "L' (turning the power off).
