Shutter speed setting dial

The shutter speed setting dial should be set to "OFF" when the camera is not in use. In this setting, the exposure meter is switched off and the electronic shutter release blocked, preventing unnecessary battery drain.

In the program modes T and m the shutter speed between 1/2000 s and 4s must be set manually by turning the setting dial [26]. Half values can also be set.

In the P program mode, the shutter speed setting influences the tendency of the automatic program mode.

In program modes A and A , the shutter speed setting dial can be engaged at any value except "B" or "100". The shutter speed is automatically computed to values between 1/2000 s and 16s.

When using non-system flash units, the shutter speed must be set to "100". In the "B" setting, the shutter remains open for a long as the exposure release button is pressed down. The symbol "bulb" is displayed in the viewfinder.

In "B" and "100", the shutter can be released without battery power. In these settings, no exposure metering occurs (except TTL-flash exposure metering), even if batteries have been inserted.
