Set the shutter speed dial at "AUTOMATIC".

Rotate the diaphragm ring to pre-select the

desired aperture such as follows:

Fine weather……………..f/8 - f/11

Cloudy weather………….f/4 - f/5.6

Indoor……………………f/2 - f/2.8

This is a rough guide to acquaint you with the

automatic shutter operation.  As you get used to

it, you will have your own yardstick for aperture

pre-selection depending on your subject and

lighting conditions.

The shutter speed of the ES is automatically

determined at any speed within the range of 8 to

1/1000 sec.  according to the brightness of your

subjects.
