Asahi Pentax ES Operating Manual Excerpts

DIAPHRAGM SETTING

Set the shutter speed dial at "AUTOMATIC".

Rotate the diaphragm ring to pre-select the desired aperture such as follows:

Fine weather……………..f/8 - f/11

Cloudy weather………….f/4 - f/5.6

Indoor……………………f/2 - f/2.8

This is a rough guide to acquaint you with the automatic shutter operation. As you get used to it, you will have your own yardstick for aperture pre-selection depending on your subject and lighting conditions.

The shutter speed of the ES is automatically determined at any speed within the range of 8 to 1/1000 sec. according to the brightness of your subjects.
