Non-CPU Lenses

Exposure mode A (aperture-priority auto) is automatically selected when a non-CPU lens is attached. The exposure mode indicator (S) in the top control panel will blink and A will be displayed in the viewfinder. For more information, see “Aperture-Priority Auto” (90).

Changing from Manual to Shutter-Priority Auto

ter-priority auto without changing the shutter speed, the indicator in the shutter- speed display will flash and the shutter can not be released. Rotate the main command dial to select a different shutter speed before shooting.
