BASIC OPERATION

continued

P (PROGRAMMED) MODE

Set the mode selector to P.

1.

Set the lens to it’s minimum
aperture (the largest f-num-

ber). The shutter speed dial can be
set at any position except M250 and B

2.

Confirm that automatic multi-
pattern metering is in opera-

tion by making sure that the metering
control button is in the normal “out”
position and the red index is not on
top (refer to page 40 for more
information).
