EXPOSURES ON AUTO The normal operating mode of your camera is the "Auto" exposure mode. With the shutter dial set to "Auto," the camera selects the correct shutter speed automatically in correlation to the preset lens aperture. Sharply focused, accurately exposed pictures are easily obtained by simply presetting the camera as outlined below. Additional adjustments may be required in extreme lighting situations. Generally, changing the lens aperture is sufficient but exposures can sometimes be improved by using a tripod, electronic flash, or the exposure compensation. For exposure setting perform the following: CO Make sure the film speed is set properly (Page 13). (2) Set the shutter mode dial to "AUTO." (3) Preset the lens aperture according to general lighting conditions. Exposure Check: Look through the viewfinder and lightly press the shutter button; the LED (light-emitting-diode) shutter speed display inside the viewfinder will light to indicate the shutter speed (The display shuts off automatically 25 - 40 seconds after you release your finger from the shutter button). 1BOXV 2216 2D2 19•
