Shutter speed dial ®

In addition to automatic stepless shutter speed control, the Nikon F3 offers manual control of all shutter speeds from 112000 sec. to 8 sec . including X, B, and T. To move the shutter speed dial off "A," depress the locking button CD as you rotate the dial counterclockwise to the 1/2000 sec. setting. You can then rotate the dial freely between any setting except "X" which, like "A," is a locked setting. Shutter speeds from 1/2000 sec. to 112 sec . are engraved in white, 1 to 8 seconds and "B" in orange, and "T" and "X" in white . 1/60 sec. is in red, indicating the highest manual shutter speed for proper synchronization with electronic flash except "X."

When the camera is on manual, an "M" appears to the left

of the liquid crystal shutter speed display inside the 17 viewfinder. In addition, above the "M," the following symbols appear: "-," "+" and "- +" indicating under- exposure, overexposure and correct exposure, respec - tively. To obtain correct exposure, simply turn the shutter speed dial and/or aperture ring until the "- +" symbol appears .
