Loading the Batteries (Battery Pack FN)
Before mounting the battery pack onto the motor
drive, load the batteries . The battery contacts should
be wiped with a clean, dry cloth before loading to
prevent corrosion from dirt and fingerprints .
1. Slide
the battery magazine release lever in the di-
rection of the arrow and remove the Battery
Magazine FN .
2.
Following the diagrams on the inside of the bat-
tery magazine, load 12 size-AA batteries . Make
sure the terminals are facing in the correct direc-
tions . If incorrectly loaded, the motor drive will
not operate .

3. When all the batteries are loaded, push the bat-
tery magazine back into the Battery Pack FN until
it is again in the fully-seated position. It can be
inserted in
only one direction .
Notes
1. Always replace the batteries with a full set of 12
new size-AA carbon-zinc or alkaline-manganese
cells, all
of the same brand.
2. The batteries should be removed whenever the
Battery Pack FN will not be used for about three
weeks or longer.
3. The Canon Ni-Cd Pack FN and High Power Ni-Cd
Pack FN are rechargeable power sources for the
AE Motor Drive FN . Do not use Ni-Cd batteries in
the Battery Pack FN .

Checking the Batteries (Battery Pack FN)
The Battery Pack FN is provided with a battery
checker which indicates the battery power at three
levels when the check button is pressed. Refer to
the following table:

• Because pressing the check button uses battery
power , excessive checking of the batteries may
reduce their life.

Notes
1. The counter setting wheel will turn only in the di-
rection of the arrow . If you turn past the number
you intend to set, press the frame counter reset
button and start over from "S ."
2. Do
not set the frame counter to a number larger
than the number of frames of the film. If the
counter is set to a larger number and the film
ends before the frame counter reaches "0, " the
film perforations may be torn .
3.
The frame counter of the motor drive is a re-
verse-counting type while that of the camera is
an additive type . Consequently, their readings will
not be the same.

Shooting
I. Shutter-Priority AE Photography
One of the primary functions of the AE Motor Drive
FN is to convert the New F-l to shutter-priority au-
tomatic exposure (AE). This AE mode is possible
with an FD lens. Note that, in general, center-
weighted average metering is recommended for AE
photography .
1. Turn the aperture ring of the lens, while pressing
the AE lock pin, until the "A" mark is aligned
with the distance index .
2. Set
the desired film driving speed by pulling up
and turning the mode selector until "S," "L," or
"H" is aligned with the index .
