"MAN." (manual) and select
the desired shutter speed. The shutter speed will be displayed on
LCDs inside the viewfinder.
• Rotate lens aperture ring to an F value. Should the lens be locked
as A (auto) and should "E" appear in the viewfinder, release it by
depressing the aperture auto lock button.
• Slightly depress the shutter release button, and you will see one
of the following indications (+3, +2, +1, tO, -1, -2, or -3) displayed
on the aperture value window in the viewfinder. These figures show
the steps of over- or under-exposure (EV value).
+ = over-exposure
tO = correct exposure
= under-exposure
Should the lighting condition go over the limit of three steps,
the +3 or -3 indication flickers.
• For normal shooting, adjust the lens aperture so that correct
exposure, indicated by tO, is obtained. Should you select the lens
aperture prior to the shutter speed, adjust the shutter speed to
obtain the correct exposure.
If you prefer over- or under-exposure, you can freely select any
exposure applying the indication as a guidance.
As soon as the meter switch is turned off by the built-in timer the
aperture indication goes out, but the shutter speed display
remains on.
