AUTOMATIC EXPOSURE CONTROL

The Aperture-Preferred System

The aperture-preferred system is the most convenient and easy-to-use method of auto-

matic operation, particularly

outdoors when using 50mm or

wide-angle lenses. To use this system:

Set the selector lever to the "AUTO" position making sure that the lever "clicks" into place.

Set the F stop you wish to use on the lens

aperture ring.

The camera will automatically determine the shutter speed required for proper exposure and indicate that speed in the viewfinder. Then RE-

Red Zone

Blue Zone

LEASE THE SHUTTER.

NOTE: At shutter speeds slower than 1/60 second,

the possibility of camera movement during ex-

posure is increased. If the needle in the viewfinder

indicates a shutter speed in this area, turn the aperture ring to the left (so as to open the aper- ture).

For use of interchangeable lenses of various angles of view, refer to the data below to determine the

hand-held shutter speed and avoid blurry pictures:

Wide-angle and super wide-angle lenses — 1/30

second or faster. 50mm lenses — 1/60 second

or faster. Telephoto and Zoom lenses to

100mm — 1/125 second or faster. Telephoto

and Zoom lenses to 200mm — 1/250 second or
