• When the lens aperture is off the "A" setting and set to any f-stop,
the camera operates in the Metered Manual mode. If the aperture
is set at the "A” position, release it from the position by turning
the aperture ring while depressing the auto-lock-release button.
• Shghtly press the shutter release button with the main switch on,
and you will see "M” and a shutter speed are displayed in the
viewfinder. When a shutter speed and another blinking shutter
speed appear simultaneously as shown at left, it indicates
incorrect exposure. Change the shutter speed or the aperture
until the blinking shutter speed disappears, so that correct
exposure can be obtained.
