* To prevent unnecessary consumption of the batteries, do not press Shutter Release Button (11) often.
* The Film Advance Lever can be set at two angles in click stage positions. Choose the one suitable for your
own shooting style.
SETTING SHUTTER SPEED DIAL
The shutter controls the length of time the light is allowed to strike the film. The speed at which the shutter
opens and closes is measured by the numbers on Shutter Speed Dial (8). In automatic exposure operation,
correct shutter speed is set automatically.
* Simply turn Shutter Speed Dial (8) until the desired shutter speed is set opposite Shutter Speed Index Line (7).
(1) "AUTO" stands for AUTOMATIC. Setting the dial at "AUTO'' makes the camera ready for
automatic exposure control.
(2) The numbers 1000, 500 etc. to 2 stand for 1/1000 sec., 1/500 sec., etc. to 1/2 sec.
(3) The numbers 1, 2, 4, stand for 1 sec., 2 sec., and 4 sec.
(4) This button locks the dial at 'AUTO" setting. When you move the dial off AUTO", press the button
and rotate the dial.
(5) "X" stands for mechanical shutter for the speed of 1/90 sec. This setting is used when the
batteries have not sufficient power or taking picture without batteries. Flash photography is also
possible at this setting.
(6) "B" stands for Bulb. The "B" setting is used for long night exposure using street lights or
electric signs as a light source, or under poor lighting conditions when flash can not be used.
When set at "B", the shutter will remain open as long as Shutter Release Button (11) is depressed
(preferably by a cable release).
Tips for Better Results
* Do not set Shutter Speed Dial (8) between marked speeds, but at a click stop in
accordance with indicated speeds only.
* Shutter Speed Dial (8) does not revolve between "AUTO" and ''B"
* When Shutter Speed Dial (8) is set at "B" or "X", set the desired f-stop and expose
manually because metering with the built-in exposure meter is not possible.
* When making extremely long time exposure at "B" setting, remove the batteries to
avoid unnecessary consumption of the batteries.
