Setting the aperture ring

When shooting with the camera set at A(Auto), once the film speed (ASA) dial is set, the only ex- posure control you must do is set the len.s aperture.

Turn the aperture ring on the lens barrel until the desired f/number is opposite the black line (aper- ture indicator) . The aperture diaphragm can be set at intermediate openings between click-stop sett- ings for more precise exposures.
