camera whose reference file is to be called.
If REF is now pressed, REF and SCENE FILE 
flash.  If REF is pressed again for 3 seconds in this
status, the call wait status is released.
*1) If  is pressed, the USER reference file is called.

camera whose file is to be called.
2Press the ALL STORE switch so that its lamp comes
on.
The contents of the current scene file of the camera
selected using the camera selector switch are stored
in the reference files of that camera.  Even if the lamps
of the scene file switches are lighted, they will all go
off.  The lamp of the REF switch lights.
3The contents of the current scene file of the camera
selected using the camera selector switch are stored
in the reference files of all the cameras which have not
been selected by the camera selector switches.
