Loading Shooting Data from Camera

Photo Secretary for the F5 allows you to select shooting data to be stored in the

camera, load shooting data from camera to PC, and display and edit shooting data. In

Camera Operation, you can select data items to be stored and load shooting data

from the camera. To edit this data, see page 44.

Selecting Data to Be Stored

The F5 offers two types of shooting data — frame data and film data. Frame data is

information about each frame. Film data is about each film

roll.

Select data to be

stored by Photo Secretary using the "Custom Functions" dialog box. The selection

appears after a new film roll is loaded and before it advances to frame #1.

Connect camera body to PC using the MC-33 cable.

Turn on the camera power.

3. In Camera Operation, click on "Tool"-"Custom Functions". You will see the "Custom

Functions" dialog box shown in Figure 15.

Select the shooting data you wish to store (from types A to D) in the "Shooting

Data"

plate (type A is the default setting).

• For details about storing data, see "Help" menu.

Note:

• Only data selected in the "Custom Functions" dialog box will be stored in the

camera.

• Shooting data cannot be stored unless a film roll is loaded.

• You cannot store data for "Year/Month/Day/Hour/Minute/Second" or data

containing characters, unless the MF-28 is attached to the camera.

• For Multiple Exposure shooting, all selected data will be stored at the first exposure,

and after that only data of type A will be stored.

• Shooting data will be always stored when film is loaded; your F5 camera will store

data even during test shooting.

• Shooting data stored in the camera is deleted only when it is downloaded to the PC

or replaced with new data. When the camera's memory is

full,

you can select the

action to take using the "Shooting Data" menu plate in the "Custom Functions"

dialog box.

• The "Custom Functions" dialog box enables you to activate full-memory alert

(blinking PC symbol).

• Selecting "Replaced with New Data" replaces old data with new data, which then

activates the blinking full-memory alert. Frequent downloading of shooting data is

recommended.

• If you change the ISO film speed after advancing the film to frame

#1,

the new data

will not be stored.
