camera’s command dial, set the aperture
to minimum aperture lock (L) (

With P or S mode, set the aperture using
the camera’s command dial.

c
Press the aperture stop-down button to fully open the
aperture, set the aperture ring to “3.5” (maximum
aperture), and set the shutter speed for correct
exposure.

and shift the shutter speed by the same number of
changed steps.
• Setting the aperture ring to minimum aperture lock (L)
fixes the aperture at f/32 (minimum aperture).
• Set the aperture with the lens’ aperture ring even on a
camera that requires aperture to be set via its command
dial. With a camera that has the custom setting menu
“aperture setting with lens’ aperture ring,” this setting
is not required.
