370N is an
easy-to-
use microcomputerized
single-
lens-reflex (SLR)
camera with quartz control of mechanical sequences and shutter speed, providing lasting accuracy
and years of enjoyment.

the aperture you
selected.
An AE lock can be used to hold a meter reading and then readjust the
framing before releasing the
shutter.
Auto control is maintained even when using mirror lenses and
clo.se-upaccessories such as bellows-not possible with shutter-priority AE
systems.
