2 2. Rotate the aperture ring to select the desired f/stop. Turn on the main switch; a slight depressing upon the shutter release button will cause the LED indication of the shutter speed to appear in the viewfinder. Additional pressure on the button will release the shutter to photograph the subject. Visual warnings during aperture-priority AE control: In the event light levels exceeds the shutter/ aperture coupling range, the shutter speed within the viewfinder will be displayed in the following manner: Iona F' '000 IS" 1 F. ICII _1 (flow-like flickering) Should the maximum aperture be indicated, select a smaller aperture by rotating the ring toward the direction of its minimum aperture (f/22, etc.). However, if the aperture displayed is the minimum aperture (f/22, etc.), rotate the same toward the direction of the maximum aperture (f/2.8, etc.). When the combination reaches the shutter/aperture coupling range by changing the f/stop, the flow-like flickering in sequence will cease; proper exposure has been attained and photographs can be taken safely with this AE mode. Should the light level exceeds the meter coupling range the shutter speed and "F--" indication within the viewfinder will appear as follows: loos F- - :.Doo f - - F- (flow-like - E flickering) (Refer to page 27, "Beyond the meter coupling range.") 41

2.
Rotate
the
aperture
ring
to
select
the
desired
f/stop.
Turn
on
the
main
switch;
a
slight
depressing
upon
the
shutter
release
button
will
cause
the
LED
indication
of
the
shutter
speed
to
appear
in
the
viewfinder.
Additional
pressure
on
the
button
will
release
the
shutter
to
photograph
the
subject.
Visual
warnings
during
aperture
-priority
AE
control:
In
the
event
light
levels
exceeds
the
shutter/
aperture
coupling
range,
the
shutter
speed
within
the
viewfinder
will
be
displayed
in
the
following
manner:
Iona
F
'
'000
IS"
1
F.
ICII
_1
(flow
-like
flickering)
Should
the
maximum
aperture
be
indicated,
select
a
smaller
aperture
by
rotating
the
ring
toward
the
direction
of
its
minimum
aperture
(f/22,
etc.).
However,
if
the
aperture
displayed
is
the
minimum
aperture
(f/22,
etc.),
rotate
the
same
toward
the
direction
of
the
maximum
aperture
(f/2.8,
etc.).
When
the
combination
reaches
the
shutter/aperture
coupling
range
by
changing
the
f/stop,
the
flow
-l
ike
flickering
in
sequence
will
cease;
proper
exposure
has
been
attained
and
photographs
can
be
taken
safely
with
this
AE
mode.
Should
the
light
level
exceeds
the
meter
coupling
range
the
shutter
speed
and
"F--"
indication
within
the
viewfinder
will
appear
as
follows:
loos
