Its down fall is that it can only use 25/40 and 100/160 ASA speed films.Their is only one pin to detect the film speed in the film chamber but it does have the filter pin to detect for dayligt/tungsten light film types as well as an external switch. The features are 18,24 and 36 frames per sec run speeds plus single frame. Time laps. Delayed shutter with camera runs of 5 or 10 seconds so that the camera man can get in on the shot. Auto through the lens exposure metering with f stop metering through the view finder. Full manual overide of the metering. Auto zoom driven from the run motor, with split image focusing and macro facility.
A full service manual is avialble from oldtimercameras.com, at a price covering the EM 20,30,40 and 60 XL. Note the 20 and 30 are smaller cameras without the filmchamber filter pin.
This camera should run Ektachrome 100D as it stands and the cartridges available from Wittner loded with Fuji Velvia 50 ASA.
