shutter reiease button halfway and check the
lighted LEDs.

selected by the FG’s microcomputer to match
the f/stop you have set.
• The lighted LED indicates the shutter speed
you have set.
i) If one LED is biinking, to get the correct exposure
rotate the aperture ring and/or the shutter speed
dial so that both the blinking LED and the steadily

LED lights up steadily or the blinking LEDs come
as close as possible to it: then make further fine
adjustments by rotating the aperture ring so that
oniy one LED lights up steadily.
