Manual override
If you want to operate your camera manually, you can do so. Simply rotate Auto/Manual Ring (G) and set the
desired lens opening number at red marker. The instance you rotate Auto/Manual Ring (G) off "A" (Auto), the
letter "M" will appear in the viewfinder indicating your camera is set for manual use.
Setting shutter speed Lightly hold Shutter Speed Knobs (I) and
rotate Shutter Speed Ring (H) until the desired shutter speed comes
opposite red marker (Fig. 8). The Shutter speed setting governs the
amount of time the film is exposed to light. '60" (1/60 second) is
recommended for subject not in motion. Where motion exists, a shutter
speed ranging from 1/125 to 1/500 should be used.
Look into the viewfinder and you will observe two red zones, one at the upper right-hand corner and the other
lower right-hand corner, and lens opening numbers in between. The upper red zone is warning mark for
overexposure. If the exposure meter needle is in the red warning mark, set Shutter Speed Ring (H) at faster
speed (Fig. 9). If you find the needle in the lower red warning mark, use slower shutter speed (Fig. 10). If the
needle stays on or between numbers, this is correct exposure and the number, such as 2.8 or 4 or 5.6. . .
indicated by the needle tells you the lens opening at which you are going to make exposure.
