When
the

er sp eed
di
al
is
set at A,
the
green
shutter
needle
in
th
e viewfinder
is
positioned
at
A.
40
This
automatically
controlls
the
shutter
speed, and
the
black needle
(exposure
metering needle) in
the
viewfinder will indicate
the
correct
shutter
speed.
The
shutter
speed varies
in
response
to
the
lens
aperture
and
the
brightness
of
the
subject, as long
as ASA
of
the
loaded film has been set.
When
the
camera
is
set
on
A
(auto),
the
camera
operates
at
intermediate
shutter
speeds when
the
needle
is
at
an
intermediate
position
between
graduations
on
the
scale. When
the
exposure
meter
needle falls
into
either
upper
or
lower warning
zones
in
orange,
the
brightness
of
the
subject
is
outside
the
range
of
automatic
shutter
speed
control
to
be indicated
on
the
scale.
