X [3 • • 16 THE SHUTTER MODE DIAL Because the camera selects the shutter speed in the "AUTO" exposure mode and pushbuttons are used to set the shutter speed in the "M" electro-touch manual mode, the shutter speed dial has been eliminated on your ME-F. In its place is the shutter mode dial, whereby you simply select the desired mode of exposure before photographing. j In addition to the four mode settings, the dial also features a shutter button lock. To set the dial: Press down on the small white button on top of the dail and rotate the dial until the button aligns with the desired mode setting. "AUTO": This is the most convenient exposure mode for general shooting. Set the dial set to "AUTO" and the camera chooses the correct shutter speed for you automatically in relation to the preset lens aperture, saving you the time required for setting the exposure entirely yourself, and allowing you to concentrate on framing and composition. For normal daylight shooting, you can preset the lens aperture at f/5.6 or f/8 and obtained well-exposed photos simply by focusing and pressing the shutter button (See EXPOSURES ON AUTO-page 39).

THE
SHUTTER
MODE
DIAL
j
X

Because
the
camera
selects
the
shutter
speed
in
the
"AUTO"
exposure
mode
and
pushbuttons
are
used
to
set
the
shutter
speed
in
the
"M"
electro-touch
manual
mode,
the
shutter
speed
dial
has
been
eliminated
on
your
ME
-F.
In
its
place
is
the
shutter
mode
dial,
whereby
you
simply
select
the
desired
mode
of
exposure
before
photographing.
In
addition
to
the
four
mode
settings,
the
dial
also
features
a
shutter
button
lock.
To
set
the
dial:
Press
down
on
the
small
white
button
on
top
of
the
dail
and
rotate
the
dial
until
the
button
aligns
with
the
desired
mode
setting.
"AUTO":
This
is
the
most
convenient
exposure
mode
for
general
shooting.
Set
the
dial
set
to
"AUTO"
and
the
camera
chooses
the
correct
shutter
speed
for
you
automatically
in
relation
to
the
preset
lens
aperture,
saving
you
the
time
required
for
setting
the
exposure
entirely
yourself,
and
allowing
you
to
concentrate
on
framing
and
composition.
For
normal
daylight
shooting,
you
can
preset
the
lens
aperture
at
f/5.6
or
f/8
and
obtained
well
-exposed
photos
simply
by
focusing
and
pressing
the
shutter
button
(See
EXPOSURES
ON
AUTO
