Set the desired f/stop on the Aper- ture Ring (A) by aligning the f/number with the red reference dot (B) in the center of the Scale Ring. The Aper- ture Ring has a click stop for each f/ stop.
The effect the set f/stop will have upon the picture area can be con- firmed on the Finder Screen.
Move the AM Lever on the lens so that “M” becomes visible - the lens then can be stopped down to the preselected aperture.
*At position “A”, the lens is al- ways stopped down only when the shutter is being released with the aperture being open.
*During normal photography, set the AM Lever so that “A” is visible. At “M”, focusing will be a little difficult.
*When using the AE Prism Finder, be sure to set the AM Le- ver on “A”; otherwise, correct exposure cannot be obtained.
*When aperture has been con- firmed, be sure to reset the AM Lever to “A”.
