Mode/shutter-speed selector and
P/A-lock release
The mode/shutter-speed selector
can be rotated continuously in ei-
ther direction but locks at "P" and
"A" to prevent accidental move-
ment. Release the selector by press-
ing the P/A-lock release, then turn
it until it clicks or locks into place
at the desired position.
Minimum-aperture lock
In P mode, it is recommended to
lock the lens at its minimum aper-
ture to prevent accidental move-
ment. To do so, line up the green
f-number (f/16, f/22, or f/32, de-
pending on lens) with the index,
then pull the slider toward the
camera. To release the lock for A
mode or M mode, push the slider
away from the camera body.
NOTE
Only new-type MD lenses have
the lock.
Eyepiece cap
If the shutter is released without
the eyepiece being shielded by your
head (such as in remote or self-
timer operation, etc.) when the
camera is used in P or A mode or at
"B", slide the eyepiece cap onto
the frame around the eyepiece to
prevent unwanted light from affect-
ing the meter reading and exposure.
The eyepiece cap can be thread-
ed on the camera strap to keep it
handy for use.
