-CONTROLS IN DETAIL-continued---------

For through·the·lens (TTL) operation

On the dial there are eight listops ranging from f/2 to f/22 . Each IIstop determines the usable distance range in which you can obtain the correct automatic exposure . These ranges are indicated by a series of color-coded lines above the distance scale.

For programmed TIL operation, it is not necessary to select the lens aperture. Once the lens is set to its minimum aper- ture, the camera automatica lly selects the proper aperture according to the lens in use. For information on the aperture selected and automatic shooting range, see page 27 .

Example 1

If you are using ASAIISO 100 film (with the zoom head set at N for a 35mm lens) and select f/4 , the auto shoot - ing range is indicated by an orange line. Thus, you can take pictures of subjects located between 1.4 and 8.0m (approx . 4.6 and 26 ft.) from the camera .

Example 2

If you are using ASAIISO 400 fi lm (with the zoom head set atT for an 85mm lens) and select f/4 , the auto shoot - ing range indicated by the orange line this time is 3.8 to 21 m (approx . 12 to 69 ft.).
