If the exposure meter needle is in the area of "+" indicator this 
is overexposure. Select a smaller lens opening or a faster shutter 
speed. If, on the contrary, the needle stays in the area of "-" 
indicator 

 

 (Fig. 11), this means underexposure - choose a larger lens 
opening or a slower shutter speed. 

 

4. 

Focus the lens and release the shutter. For focusing the lens, refer to "Viewing and focusing". 

You may set F-stop first and then shutter speed. Other procedure is same as above. This setting may be used 
when you take a portrait or the like making your subject attractive with the back ground and the scene in front 
of your subject blurred. How your subject stands out depends on F-stop setting (Refer to "Depth of field"). Hold 
your camera firm or use a steady support like tripod if you have to use a slow shutter speed. 

* Correct exposure may not be obtained when you expose the subject with your eye away from Viewfinder 
Eyepiece (0) or with the sunlight in front of your because your face may reflect inside the viewfinder, which 
will influence the exposure meter. 

* Press Exposure Meter Switch (H) until it completely stops.
