AUTO 100X• 100x THE "100X" AND "B" SETTINGS While the MV is designed almost totally for use on AUTO, two other settings are provided on the exposure mode dial for special shooting situations. "100X" This manual shutter speed setting really need not be used at all if you use the Pentax AF 200S Auto Flash and keep spare batteries on hand. It is provided for manual flash synchronization with flash units other than the AF 200 S (see page 211. In addition, it may also be used in emergencies when batteries fail and you do not have spare batteries on hand. For emergency exposures without batteries, merely set the exposure mode dial to "100X" and select the aperture according to the brightness of your subject (refer to the exposure guidelines accompanying the film). The 100X setting is also convenient for film wind on. "B" (Bulb): This setting is used when desiring to make "Time" exposures longer than 1 second. To use, first mount the camera on a tripod, then, attach a cable release to the camera's shutter release button. 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•
