Pentax ME Super - The Exposure Mode Dial

THE
EXPOSURE
MODE
DIAL
Because
the
camera
selects
the
shutter
speed
in
the
"AUTO"
exposure
mode
and
pushbuttons
are
used
to
set
the
shutter
speed
in
the
“М”
(Manual)
mode,
the
shutter
speed
dial
has
been
eliminated
on
your
ME
SUPER.
In
its
place
is
the
exposure
mode
dial,
whereby
you
simply
choose
the
desired
mode
of
exposure
before
shooting.
In
addition
to
the
four
exposure
modes,
the
dial
also
features
a
shutter-
button
lock
setting.
To
set
the
dial:
Press
down
on
the
small
white
button
on
top
of
the
dial
with
your
thumb
or
forefinger
and
rotate
the
dial
until
the
white
button
aligns
with
the
desired
mode
setting.
"AUTO":
Your
might
consider
"AUTO"
the
normal
exposure
mode
and
the
others
as
auxiliary
modes
for
special
shooting
situations.
When
the
exposure
mode
dial
is
set
to
"AUTO,"
you
merely
preselect
the
lens
aperture;
the
camera
sets
the
shutter
speed
automatically,
freeing
you
to
concentrate
on
framing
and
composition.
Keep
the
dial
at
this
setting
to
take
advantage
of
shooting
opportunities
when
they
arise.
It’s
also
an
excellent
mode
for
allowing
novices
to
operate
your
camera.
