THE EXPOSURE 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" (Manual) mode, the shutter speed dial has been eliminated on your ME SUPER. In its place is the exposure mode dial, whereby you simply choose the desired mode of exposure before shooting. In addition to the four exposure modes, the dial also features a shutterbutton lock setting. To set the dial: Press down on the small white button on top of the dial with your thumb or forefinger and rotate the dial until the white button aligns with the desired mode setting. "AUTO": Your might consider "AUTO" the normal exposure mode and the others as auxiliary modes for special shooting situations. When the exposure mode dial is set to "AUTO," you merely preselect the lens aperture; the camera sets the shutter speed automatically, freeing you to concentrate on framing and composition. Keep the dial at this setting to take advantage of shooting opportunities when they arise. It's also an excellent mode for allowing novices to operate your camera.

THE
EXPOSURE
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"
(Manual)
mode,
the
shutter
speed
dial
has
been
eliminated
on
your
ME
SUPER.
In
its
place
is
the
exposure
mode
dial,
whereby
you
simply
choose
the
desired
mode
of
exposure
before
shooting.
In
addition
to
the
four
exposure
modes,
the
dial
also
features
a
shutter
-
button
lock
setting.
To
set
the
dial:
Press
down
on
the
small
white
button
on
top
of
the
dial
with
your
thumb
or
forefinger
and
rotate
the
dial
until
the
white
button
aligns
with
the
desired
mode
setting.
"AUTO":
Your
might
consider
"AUTO"
the
normal
exposure
mode
and
the
others
as
auxiliary
modes
for
special
shooting
situations.
When
the
exposure
mode
dial
is
set
to
"AUTO,"
you
merely
preselect
the
lens
aperture;
the
camera
sets
the
shutter
speed
automatically,
freeing
you
to
concentrate
on
framing
and
composition.
Keep
the
dial
at
this
setting
to
take
advantage
of
shooting
opportunities
when
they
arise.
It's
also
an
excellent
mode
for
allowing
novices
to
operate
your
camera.
