speed selection via the shutter-speed dial positioned to
the right of the finder, with setting operation possible
at any time either before or after the shutter is wound.
The dial is provided with positions for automatic (AUTO),
and manual speeds from 8 seconds to 1/1000 second. To
set the dial for automatic shutter speed selection, simply
rotate the dial clockwise until the green AUTO (auto
matic) setting clicks and locks Into place aligned with
the shutter-speed scale index at the base of the dial; the
built-in locking mechanism ensures that the dial cannot
be accidently shifted from the automatic position during
shooting.

hold in the shutter-speed dial lock and rotate the dial

dial is aligned with white settings from 2 to 1000, the
actual shutter speed Is a fractional value from 1/2 second
to 1/1000 second, while the remaining settings indicate

is the only setting (except “B”) which can be used when
