AE Mechanism: Electronically controlled. Information input by means of AE mode selector and AT dial for full-aperture AE metering (FD lens at “A”) and stopped- down AE metering.

Employs three LSI's with I2L, one Linear LSI and one Bi-MOS IC for light metering.

AE Mode Selection: By means of AE mode selector. Two settings: TV (Time value) for shutter priority AE, Av (Aperture value) for aperture priority AE.

Light Metering System: Through-the-lens Central Emphasis Averaging metering by silicon photocell located just above eyepiece lens. Light reaches silicon photocell after passing through fresnel lens con- denser.

ASA Film Speed Setting: ASA6 to ASA 12800 in 1/3 step increments. With lock.

Meter Coupling Range: EV-2 (8 sec. at f/1.4) to EV 18 (1/1000 sec. at f/16) at ASA 100 with FD 50mm f/1.4 lens.

Exposure Compensation: ±2 f/stop range in 1/3 f/stop increments: 1/4 •• 1/2 •• 1 •• 2 •• 4.

Exposure Memory: EV locked in when exposure memory switch is pressed. When pressed, the shutter-speed/aperture combination can be changed for the same

locked-in EV.

Exposure Preview: Viewfinder digital readout activated by pressing shutter button halfway or by pressing exposure preview switch or exposure memory switch.

Stop-down Lever: Foldable. Stopping- down an FD lens is possible only when aperture ring is disengaged from “A” mark.

Manual Override: Possible by disengaging FD lens from “A” mark and setting AE mode selector to Tv. Aperture manually controlled with aperture ring, shutter speed with AT dial.

Shutter: Cloth focal plane shutter with four spindles. Electronically controlled, steplessly, from 30 sec. to 1/1000 sec. Shock and noise damper mechanisms are incorporated.

Shutter Speed Scale: B, 30, 15, 8, 4, 2, 1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 30, 60,125, 250,500, 1000 plus P (with the AE mode selector at Tv). “P” setting is for programmed AE mode. Intermediate speeds not on the scale cannot be set.

Aperture Scale: • 1.4 • 2 • 2.8 • 4 • 5.6 • 8 • 11 • 16-22 (with the AE mode selector at Av).

Shutter Release Button: Oversized, two- step button with electromagnetic shutter
