ES II • TTL METERING AND AUTOMATIC SHUTTER For full-aperture reading, be sure that the stop-down lever is DOWN. The broader figures 2, 4 and 8 in the shutter speed calibration mean 2, 4 and 8 seconds respectively. The electronic shutter of the ES II is guaranteed to work properly down to 8 seconds. After cocking the rapid wind lever, press the shutter release button lightly to switch on the electric circuit. The meter needle in the viewfinder indicates the correct shutter speed. If the needle does not drop to "1000", stop down the lens diaphragm. CAUTION: At slow speeds - slower than 1/30 sec. - put your camera on a solid support or use a tripod to prevent camera movement. Depress the shutter release button completely when ready to take your picture. When the shutter is released and your finger is off the shutter button, the meter circuit is off and the needle will return to the top of the scale. 14
