Comments
The potentiometer to adjust the exposure meter is under the trim between the cartridge door and the 18/24 FPS selector. The whole side cover of the camera needs removal to access the potentiometer.
There is no backlight button but an "EE lock." This is a spring -return rotary switch by the lens barrel that fixes the aperture set by the TTL metering as long as it is pushed. On release the aperture returns to auto control set by the metering.
