Recommended aperture value with ISO 100 21 film under typical situations as shown in the list Shutter speed corresponds from 1 2000 to 8 sec Turn the Main Switch 7 to the ON position Set the Shutter Speed Ring to align the A mark to the Shutter Speed Index 1 Turn the aperture ring on the lens to the desired aperture value Advance the film and press the Shutter Release Button 4 halfway while looking through the Viewfinder 19 In the finder the LED display will indicate the measured shutter speed m f the 2000 LED blinks fast this means out of range due to over exposure Turn the aperture ring on the lens to a higher setting Condition Aperture F value At night for handheld full speed shooting depth of field Outdoors on a fine day a Seaside n midsummer rw Mountain an wih sow emp m f the 1 LED lits the shutter will be released at the speed of 1 sec to 8 sec f the LED of 1 blinks fast the image in the camera is too dark for reliable measurement Turn the aperture ring on the lens to a lower setting m The LED will remain on for about 8 sec after you stop pressing the Shutter Release Button 4 If the LED goes off while composing your shot then press the Shutter Release Button again halfway to reactivate the metering indicator m The LED display is switched off as long as the film is not advanced Press the Shutter Release Button 42. B means bulb With brighter and or fast moving subjects it is recommended to use higher shutter speeds Turn the Main Switch 7 to the ON position Set the Shutter Speed Ring 2 to the desired shutter speed setting Adjust your focus and press the Shutter Release Button 4 in halfway while looking through the Viewfinder Eyepiece 19 m You will see two LED indicators in the finder One indicates the manually selected shutter speed A second blinking one indicates the metered shutter speed Turn either the aperture ring on the lens and or the Shutter Speed Ring 2 to align the two LEDs until they converge l When the blinking LED converges with the other lit indicator and thus only one LED is lit in the finder it means you have selected the metered exposure value You can of course set a different aperture and shutter speed on purpose to achieve special effects Fast blinking of the LED of 2000 when the Shutter Speed Ring is set to 2000 indicates out of range due to over exposure Turn the aperture ring on the lens to a higher setting Fast blinking of the LED of 1 when the Shutter Speed Ring is set to 1 indicates out of range due to under exposure Turn the aperture ring on the lens to a lower setting The LED will remain on for about 8 seconds after you stop pressing the Shutter Release Button 4 or stop turning the Shutter Speed Ring 2 5 Create your composition and release the

Button 4 a few times and operating the Film Advance Lever 5 until the Film Counter 6 indicates 1 Make sure that the Film Rewind Knob 23 rotates each time the film is advanced which will tell you that the film is advancing properly Note When advancing the film wind the Film Advance Lever 5 slowly and securely until the film is fully transported to the next frame 36 Film Speed Setting The film speed is indicated on the outside of the film package on the film cartridge or in the film instructions To set the film speed while lifting the Film Speed Ring 2 turn it until the arrow indicator on the inner ring points to the corresponding film speed ASA 1SO value which can be seen through the Film Speed Window 3 Caution Make sure to set film speed exactly at a notch position not in between otherwise proper shutter speeds will not be shown in the Viewfinder 19 Through the Film Confirmation Window 29 you can check the type of the film the quantity you can shoot and the ISO speed of the film Exposure Setting Aperture Priority Mode auto exposure mode AE In Aperture Priority AE mode the camera will automatically select the proper shutter speed based on the lens aperture value and the brightness of the subject You may select the lens aperture value with consideration of the film speed the required depth of field the brightness of the subject motion of the subject
4. gently to release the shutter Example Shutter will be released at 1 125 sec Exposure Compensation Exposure metering by measurement of subject brightness is based on the assumption of a subject with average reflectance When the nature of the subject deviates considerably from this normal situation compensation of the measured exposure becomes necessary For example when large parts of the subject are very bright a compensation is required when large parts of the subject are dominated by dark tones a compen sation is required for a correctly exposed image Especially when using positive slide film the technically correct exposure is not necessarily the best exposure according to the taste of the photographer Therefore this camera is equipped with an exposure compensation mode With help of the exposure compensation mode you can use a different exposure value than the one that aperture priority has determined automatically You can change the value to either brighter compensation or darker compensation The amount you can compensate for is 2 steps by 1 3 step increments Set the A indicator on the Shutter Speed Ring 2 to the desired value of compensation When the exposure compensation mode is active the indicator LED of the compensated shutter speed will blink slowly Example Compensate by 1 step AE Lock Function With all kinds of subjects where bright parts and dark
5. parts are not mixed and homogenously distributed but clearly separated the result of exposure metering will depend on the image composition For example when a wide angle lens is used a bright sky will contribute a lot to the metering result when the horizon is in the lower part of the frame This will probably lead to an underexposure of the main subject When however the camera looks downward and the horizon is close to the upper edge of the frame the bright sky will contribute less to the exposure metering Therefore the camera is equipped with an AE lock function as a convenient way to make exposure metering independent of image composition Use the AE lock function with aperture priority mode or exposure compensation mode The exposure value will be stored at the moment when the AE Lock Button 20 is released and also the LED indication in the finder will be locked Wind up the film and press the Shutter Release Button 4 halfway and check the LED indicator in the finder You may as well press and hold the AE Lock Button 20 to switch on the metering and the exposure display in the finder 3 Direct the camera to a part of the subject with average brightness Keep in mind that the metering sensitivity is highest in the center of the frame Exclude bright light sources or large bright parts of the subject from this area If necessary go closer to the main subject Release the AE Lock Button 20 when the LED indicates t
