• • • • 625050'0.4 • F152E05R000 'MC The figures in the viewfinder from "2" to "1000" refer to shutter speeds in fractions of seconds (i.e., 1/2 sec. to 1/1000 sec.); "1" indicates one second. GREEN LED - Correct Exposure - "Go ahead and shoot" Green LEDs are used along the shutter speed scale between 1/1000th second and 1/60th second to indicate that the shutter speed is fast enough to hand hold the camera. RED "OVER" LED - Overexposure A red LED will glow next to the "OVER" indicator in the viewfinder to indicate overexposure. When this occurs, stop the lens down to a smaller aperture until one of the green LED lights. 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 an excessively long exposure. To re-set the camera, move the dial to the "100X" setting and return it to the "AUTO" position before shooting. • 20
