SIMPLE STEPS FOR TAKING PICTURES

Setting the Aperture

1. Open the Dust Barrier and set

the aperture lever ( mark) to the

F-number required.

2. Confirm the shutter speed in
the viewfinder, aiming at the sub-

ject.

(The arrows indicate parallax cor-

rection marks.)

If the shutter speed nee-

dle enters the striped, over-

exposure warning zone,

push the aperture lever

downward so that the nee-
dle points to "500" (1/
500 sec) or under.

If the needle points to

"30" (1/30 sec) or under,

be careful not to shake the

camera.

trol, see pages 13 & 14.)
