For through-the-lens (TTL) operation
On the dial there are eight f/stops ranging from f/2 to
f/22. Each f/stop 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 TTL operation, it is not necessary to select
the lens aperture. Once the lens is set to its minimum aper
ture, the camera automatically 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 ASA/ISO 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 ASA/ISO 400 film (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.).
