Overexposure: If the "OVER" LED fails to go out when you set the exposure by presetting the shutter speed, use a faster shutter speed; conversely, if it remains lit when you preset the lens aperture, use a smaller aperture. Low-Light Exposures/Underexposure: With either method, when exposure conditions require that you use a slow shutter speed below 1/60 sec., be sure to take precautions against camera shake. If the underexposure LED remains lit even after you have given maximum exposure, either make a time exposure at the "B" setting (page 51), or switch to flash photography (pages 52-53.) NOTE Shortcut: When changing from a slow to a fast shutter speed, it is not necessary to use the shutter speed increase button. If the given shutter speed is 2 sec. and you desire to increase to 1/1000 sec., for example, simply press the decrease button until the LED lights at "1000." (When going from a fast to a slow shutter speed, reverse the procedure by taking a shortcut with the shutter speed increase button). 47•

Overexposure:
If
the
"OVER"
LED
fails
to
go
out
when
you
set
the
exposure
by
presetting
the
shutter
speed,
use
a
faster
shutter
speed;
conversely,
if
it
remains
lit
when
you
preset
the
lens
aperture,
use
a
smaller
aperture.
Low
-Light
Exposures/Underexposure:
With
either
method,
when
exposure
conditions
require
that
you
use
a
slow
shutter
speed
below
1/60
sec.,
be
sure
to
take
precautions
against
camera
shake.
If
the
underexposure
LED
remains
lit
even
after
you
have
given
maximum
exposure,
either
make
a
time
exposure
at
the
"B"
setting
(page
51),
or
switch
to
flash
photography
(pages
52-53.)
NOTE
Shortcut:
When
changing
from
a
slow
to
a
fast
shutter
speed,
it
is
not
necessary
to
use
the
shutter
speed
increase
button.
If
the
given
shutter
speed
is
2
sec.
and
you
desire
to
increase
to
1/1000
sec.,
for
example,
simply
press
the
decrease
button
until
the
LED
lights
at
"1000."
(When
going
from
a
fast
to
a
slow
shutter
speed,
reverse
the
procedure
by
taking
a
shortcut
with
the
shutter
speed
increase
button).
