pou AUT 100X N. B 100X , B • 14 THE SHUTTER MODE DIAL Because the camera selects the shutter speed automatically with the shutter set to "AUTO," your MG does not feature a conventional shutter speed dial. In its place is a shutter mode dial which you simply set to "AUTO" for normal shooting, or one of the other two settings for special shooting situations such as flash or time exposures. To set the dial: Rotate the dial until the index aligns with the desired setting. "AUTO": This setting is used for normal shooting except flash and time exposures. Keep the dial set to "AUTO" so that you will always be ready to shoot when the opportunity presents itself. For daylight shooting you can preset the lens aperture at f/5.6 or f/8 and obtain accurately exposed pictures by simply focusing the lens and pressing the shutter button (See EXPOSURES ON AUTO -Page 191.
