GA645w - exposure counter ?

[david b]

How do I find the exposure counter on the GA645w ?

If you mean the number of frames that have been shot on the camera then this is how you do it on the regular GA645:
Pressing the exposure compensation button, turn the command dial from Off to ISO.

great.

mine reads 017 00

which means what?

 

[photogdave]

1,700 frames have been exposed.

My pleasure. I have a manual here because I'm actually trying to decide between the regular and the W. How do like the W?

 

[david b]

well I just got it this afternoon.

I shot one roll of Acros and have developed it already.

So far so good. The meter is quite good.

The pop up flash is great.

The focusing and on/off is a bit to get used to as I have never owned an
automatic camera before.

Yeah I've shot one roll on the 645 but it was color neg so haven't had it developed yet. The focusing seems loud as I shoot but no one seems to notice. I really like how the camera handles and I love having aperture priority!
Next week I try the 645W and decide which lens I prefer. My local camera shop lets me rent their used gear so I'm lucky they have both versions in stock!

I really do like the W and I like having the aperture priority as well.

The meter is rather good. I just checked the negs and they seem to be
dead on.

Here is a pic of my two fujis. I got the 6x9 last week and the 645 today.

Road trip next week.
