Exposure Setting (shutter speed priority)

1. Place the film advance lever (4) in the ready position and turn

the shutter speed dial so that the indicator white line aligns
with the desired shutter speed value. Then if the dial is set at
the intermediate positions of the index, shutter speed will be

incorrect. Be sure that the dial clicks at the position where the

white line aligns with the desired value.

2.With brighter subjects, fast moving subjects or with the higher

value film speed of the film used, it is recommended to use

higher shutter speeds.

3. Recommended shutter speed with ISO 100/21° film under

typical situation is as below:

4.To monitor exposure, lightly press the shutter release button (3)

and turn the aperture ring until the green mark lights.

When the red mark lights, it means over exposure. So turn the aper-

ture ring in the direction of greater f/value. If the red mark lights, it

means under exposure, so turn the aperture ring to a smaller f/value.

Note;Outside the exposure metering range of your camera(EV 4

to EV19), the exposure meter will not function properly and the

green LED indicator may come on indicating incorrect expo-

sure.
