also

displayed at the “B” setting. The

flashing “EEEE EE” appears to warn of
error in the stopping-down process and ■will
be explained in more detail later in this

instruction booklet.

When switching from one priority to another

under the same exposure conditions, it is

possible that the new camera-selected var­
iable will differ a half step from the corres­

ponding previously manually-selected value.

For instance, a combination of 1/250 sec.

and f/5.6 in the shutter-speed priority AE

mode may become 1/180 sec. at f/5.6 in the
aperture priority AE mode under the same
conditions. This is due to the fact that the
camera-selected value is rounded off to half
steps in the display. However, since the

camera actually controls its variable stepless-

ly, this seeming discrepancy will have no

effect upon exposure.
