Eyepiece:
Shutter The eyepiece shutter shuts out all
extraneous light. A useful safeguard
when taking long exposures or with
self-timed
or remote-control photography.
The multifunctional shutter button
provides a meter reading when depressed
gently and releases the shutter when fully
depressed. To activate the selftimer, turn
the outer ring to "S" and press the
shutter. A beeping sound will issue for
10 sees. before the shutter releases itself.
Set the ring to "A" for normal shutter
release and "L" to lock the shutter.
An invaluable feature which helps you
in more ways than one. At HOLD, the meter
operates for 16 sees., freeing both hands to
adjust the camera. The same happens on
LIGHT, but in addition the viewfinder display
is illuminated. At NORMAL, the meter
functions only while the shutter button is
depressed, to save power.
Shutter Speed DialAlign the "A" mark with the index for
aperture-priority AK. Full sec onds (2, 4
and 8 sec.) are color coded yellow for
clear distinctior with faster speeds (plus "
t" an~ B) which are in white.
