MANUAL EXPOSURE CONTROL

Set the selector lever to

"MANUAL", and the ex-

posure index marks and

the meter needle are visi-

ble in the viewfinder.

Shutter Speed-Preferred Manual Exposure Control

Should you wish to preselect a shutter speed

turn the shutter speed ring until the desired

speed is opposite the red reference dot on the

lens barrel (see page 12).

Look through the viewfinder and turn the

aperture ring until the needle lines up in the
center of the index. For fine exposure adjust-

ment you can use any click-stop or inter-

mediate F stop position.

Aperture-Preferred Manual Exposure Control

Turn the aperture ring until the desired F stop

is opposite the white index mark.

Look through the viewfinder and rotate the

shutter speed ring until the needle lines up as
close as possible to the center of the index.

Make sure that the shutter speed ring is clicked

into position and not between two settings.
Make the final exposure adjustment by turning

the aperture ring until the needle aligns exactly

in the center of the index.

CAUTION: The shutter speed thus obtained

should meet the other photographic conditions

properly, especially at "B" where the shutter

speed ring is not coupled with the exposure meter.
