DEPTH-OF-FIELD PREVIEW LEVER The preview lever on the lens should always be set to "AUTO" when the lens is used on the ES II. The lever has an interlock that prevents it from being set to "MAN" when mounted on the ES I I. When mounted on a Pentax camera other than the ES or ES II, the lever will operate normally. MECHANICAL SHUTTER In addition to the electronic shutter for automatic exposure control, the ES II has a mechanical shutter for speeds: 1/60 X for electronic flash synchronization, 1/125, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000 sec. plus B (Bulb). To operate at any one of these speeds, just turn the shutter dial from "AUTOMATIC" to the desired speed setting. Now the electric circuit and TTL meter circuit are off. To make an exposure longer than 8 seconds, set the shutter dial at B. The shutter will stay open as long as you depress the shutter button. As you release your finger from the shutter button, the shutter closes. For extremely long exposures, set the shutter lock by moving the lever to the left while depressing the shutter button. Alternately, use a cable relase with a locking device. Pro c=t c4 ° 49 CN) 17
