Double-Check Before Shooting

to the “A” mark?

2. Have you checked the battery

power level?

3. Have you properly set the AE mode

selector?
The Tv setting (shutter-speed pri

ority AE) is preferable for action

photography.

The

(aperture

priority AE) is preferable for still

photography.

4. Did you set the film speed pro

perly?

This is essential to the proper

operation of the camera. See that
the memo holder tells the type of

film loaded in the camera.

You can use the rewind knob as an
indicator that the film is properly

loaded. Every time you advance the

film,

the

rewind

knob

should

rotate.

mark?
At the “L” setting, the shutter
button is locked.
