The figures seen in the viewfinder from "2" to "2000" refer to the shutter speeds in fractions of seconds (i.e., 1/2 sec. to 1/2000 sec.), "1 ' to "4S" indicate full-second shutter speeds. • • 1000 • 500 250 • 125 • • • 15 • 0 • 4 • 2 • • 2s • 4s GREEN LED - CORRECT EXPOSURE "Go ahead and shoot" If one of the GREEN LEDs light (i.e., those between "2000" and "60," no further adjustments are required. Simply focus, compose your picture and shoot by pressing the shutter button all the way down. A GREEN LED indicates that the shutter speed is fast enough to shoot while holding the camera in your hand. RED "OVER" LED - OVEREXPOSURE If the RED LED beside the "OVER" indication at the top of the shutter speed scale lights, your shot will be overexposed unless you adjust the lens aperture ring. To correct for overexposure, turn the aperture ring clockwise to a smaller aperture (i.e., f/5.6 to f/8, f/11, EF eMra 2000: etc.) until one of the GREEN LEDs light. It is not necessary to stop when the LED lights at "2000" (when more depth-of-field is desired use a slower shutter speed and smaller lens aperture - see page 32). 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 125X. After closing the shutter, be sure to reset the shutter dial to AUTO. 16•

GREEN
LED
—
CORRECT
EXPOSURE
"Go
ahead
and
shoot"
If
one
of
the
GREEN
LEDs
light
(i.e.,
those
between
"2000"
and
"60,"
no
further
adjustments
are
required.
Simply
focus,
compose
your
picture
and
shoot
by
pressing
the
shutter
button
all
the
way
down.
A
GREEN
LED
indicates
that
the
shutter
speed
is
fast
enough
to
shoot
while
holding
the
camera
in
your
hand.
RED
"OVER"
LED
—
OVEREXPOSURE
If
the
RED
LED
beside
the
"OVER"
indication
at
the
top
of
the
shutter
speed
scale
lights,
your
shot
will
be
overexposed
unless
you
adjust
the
lens
aperture
ring.
To
correct
for
overexposure,
turn
the
aperture
ring
clockwise
to
a
smaller
aperture
(i.e.,
f/5.6
to
f/8,
f/11,
etc.)
until
one
of
the
GREEN
LEDs
light.
It
is
not
necessary
to
stop
when
the
LED
lights
at
"2000"
(when
more
depth
-of
-field
is
desired
use
a
slower
shutter
speed
and
smaller
lens
aperture
—
see
page
32).
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
125X.
After
closing
the
shutter,
be
sure
to
reset
the
shutter
dial
to
AUTO.
