For non-TTL automatic (A) operation

For non -TTL automatic operation, you can select one of two flstops , indicated by the blue and orange aperture indicator lines at the bottom of the calculator dial. After determining the aperture, set the shooting mode selector corresponding to the aperture you selected .

Example 1

If you are using ASA/ISO 100 film (with the zoom head set at N for a 35mm lens), the usable aperture is f/8 at the blue A1 setting and f/4 at the orange A2 setting . The automatic shooting range in this case is 0.6 to 4.0m (2 .0 to 13 ft.) at A1 and 0.6m to 8.0m (1 .0 to 26 ft.) at A2 . For a subject more than 4m away,'the only usable flstop is f/4 . With a subject 3m away, you can select either f/8 or f/4 . If a shorter recycling time is preferable , use f/4 . If greater depth of field is desired, use f/8 .
