instance, you set the aperture ring to a wider aperture (smaller fnumber value) by turning it counterclockwise until the green LED lights. For example, if it is set at f/5.6, turn it to f/4, f/2, etc. If the green LED does not come on, even after you have set the lens to the widest aperture, do either of the following. Use a tripod - Page 35 Switch to flash photography - Page 20-21 Because the MV auto exposure system selects the shutter speed for you steplessly between 1/1000 and 1 sec. in relation to the aperture setting, the above is all you need to know about exposure control for satisfactory results with most subjects. However, for better results in difficult lighting, shooting against the light, with fast moving subjects, etc., refer to the section "Shooting Pointers" (Page 22) when you feel you are ready to master special techniques to use in such situations. CAUTION If you should happen to press the shutter button while the shutter dial is set on AUTO with the lens cap on, or in very poor lighting conditions, the mirror may lock up, resulting in abnormally long exposure. To correct this, the shutter can be quickly closed by turning the shutter dial to 100X. After closing the shutter, be sure to reset the shutter dial to AUTO. •15 If you use a tripod or make an exposure at any time without your eye to the vievvfinder eyepiece, cover the eyepiece with the accessory Finder Cap; otherwise light entering from the rear of the camera may adversely affect the exposure. 1t lx
