BRIEF GUIDE TO CAMERA HANDLING

The Nikon EL2's conveniently-placed controls and fully automatic shutter facilitate operation under even rapidly changing conditions. After performing the preliminary steps as presented in "Preparation for Use" (pages 8 ~ 12), shoot- ing with the Nikon EL2 is as simple as:

1)Set the shutter speed dial to " A " to prepare the camera for automatic operation, as de- tailed on page 13.

2)Set the lens aperture to the setting appropri- ate for the shooting situation at hand by turning the aperture ring, as detailed on page 14.

3)Turn on the meter and shutter control by simply moving the film-advance lever to the 30° standoff position, as detailed on page 14.

4)View/focus/compose the subject through the viewfinder, turning the lens' focusing ring as necessary to achieve a sharp image (see pages 2 0 - 25).

5)Assume a shooting stance and depress the shutter button to expose the film (see pages 18 and 19).
