Turn the control dial (1) to adjust the shutter speed between 30 and 1/2000 second.

Press and hold the exposure compensation button (2) and turn the control dial (1) to adjust the aperture. The aperture range depends on the lens. The shutter speed and aperture values are displayed on the data panel.

The viewfinder exposure indicators show if the set exposure is the same as, greater (>), or less (<) than the exposure determined by the meter. The indicators light when the difference between the set exposure and metered exposure is 0.5 Ev (1/2 stop) or greater.

To use fill flash, press the flash-mode (3) button to raise the flash. The flash exposure is controlled automatically by the camera.

The shutter speed cannot exceed the flash-sync speed of 1/90 second. Flash range is dependent on the aperture, see page 25. To cancel the flash, push the flash head down.
