THE "100X" AND "El" SETTINGS LI Your Pentax ME is meticulously designed and constructed mainly for automatic exposure. You do not have to set the shutter speeds everytime you take pictures. As long as the batteries are active, you are always assured of properly exposed fine quality photographs. So always be prepared with spare batteries. In case you find yourself without spare batteries while taking pictures, you can then utilize the 1/100 second manual shutter speed. Press on the white button of the shutter dial and set it at "100X" (1/100 second). At this setting, the shutter will operate at 1/100 sec. Select the aperture according to the brightness of your subject (refer to the exposure guide accompanying the film). The "100X" setting is also for use with electronic flash. (See page 24) The "B" (Bulb) setting is used when desiring to make "Time" exposures longer than 8 seconds. To use, attach a cable release to the shutter release button of the ME which is first mounted on a tripod. The shutter will open when the plunger of the cable release is depressed and remain open as long as pressure is maintained. For ultra long exposures such as several minutes or hours, use a cable release with a locking device. 16•
