whereas LED for f/22 flickers for an over-exposure.
The LED for M flickers and that for one of the apertures in
range of f/1.4 ~ 22 lights up (in use of Hexanon AR lens).
LEDs for f/1.0 (intermediate between M and f/1.4) and f/22 alternately
flicker for a drop in voltage.
LED for f/1.0 (intermediate between M and f/1.4) lights up for stopped-down metering.
LED for f/5.6 or f/11 flickers for electronic light charge with exclusive X-24.

• The description in "Lower Battery Warning Signal"
states that continuous shooting may be done at a
speed of 1.5 frames per second, and that the use of
new AA alkaline batteries makes it possible
to expose 15 rolls of 36-exposure film - until the
appearance of a low battery signal
(estimated number of exposures is based on Konica's own test results)

• The specifications and design are subject to change without notice
