   <2.When Collective Printing is Effected>
    Collective printing is effected automatically just before
     film rewinding is completed. The collective printing
    warning lamp will blink during the printing operation.  (lt
     will take about twenty seconds with a 36-exposure film
   and normal temperature.)
    Exposure data for one frame will be printed in each line
    and, when collective printing is completed, the film will be
   rewound again.
    After rewinding is completed, the exposure counter on
    the camera will blink at "00".
