the white line index mark on the camera

body.

tion scale to 0.
3. Set the aperture to the desided "f"

number according to conditions.

4. When the shutter release button is
slightly touched, an LED indicating proper
exposure will automatically light in the view-

finder. When "     " LED blinks, it indicates
over-exposure. Rotate the aperture ring to
stop down to a smaller exposure until an

LED indicates proper exposure.

 Blinking "LT" indicates under-exposure: rotate

the aperture ring until the LED stops blinking to

increase exposure.

 Illuminating "LT" indicates that the shutter is set

for a relatively long exposure from between 1 to
4 seconds.

When taking pictures at such slow speeds, be

careful not to move or vibrate the camera. Either
open the aperture for a higher shutter speed, or
use a tripod, or use a flash.

Under AE (automatic exposure) or AEL

(AE lock), the 

LED display in the viewfinder will

continue to Operate as long as the shutter re-

lease button is touched slightly. When you
take your finger  off the button.  the LEDs will

go out.

Rotate the shutter speed dial until 

 

aligns with the white  index mark on the
camera body.

Position the important part of your subject in

the central square of the viewfinder   this
will establish the correct exposure. Then

touch the shutter release button slightly and

an LED will light indicating the correct expc-
sure. After making any necessary adjust-

ments to the aperture, press completely for

your exposure. Even when light quality is

variable, an optimum exposure is possible.

If you cannot get close enough to your sub-

ject for another meter reading, make substi-

tute measurements by pointing the camera
to light and dark areas and calculate a

mean exposure value or try taking a reading

off your palm.
