3. In programmed AE mode
Both the shutter speed LED and the aperture LED flash on and off simultaneously to warn you of overexposure as well as under- exposure. In taking exposure readings, the shutter speed and aperture combination changes as they are programmed in the camera. However, if there should be too little light to be exposed correctly even at the maximum aperture, the maximum aperture of the lens in use will remain fixed, and the camera will work in aperture priority AE, controlling the shutter speed to produce correct exposure. If the camera exceeds the limit of the meter coupling range, the shutter speed and aperture LED values that flash depend on the lens used and the ASA film speed. When the data flashes on and off in programmed AE, photography is no longer possible in that mode unless you change the light level or switch to a more appropriate film.
1.Is the aperture ring of the lens set to the "A" mark?
2.Have you checked the battery power level?
3.Have you properly set the AE mode selector?
The TV setting (shutter priority AE) is preferable for action photography. The Av (aperture priority AE) is preferable for still photography.)
4.Did you set the film speed pro- perly?
This is essential to the proper operation of the camera. See that the memo holder tells the type of film loaded in the camera.
5.Is the film properly loaded?
You can use the rewind knob as an indicator that the film is properly loaded. Every time you advance the film, the rewind knob should rotate.
6.Is the main switch set to the "A" mark?
At the "L" setting, the shutter button is locked.
