Manual (1/30 to 1/1000
sec.)
Used for full manual control of both f/stop and shutter
speed. All six shutter speeds indicated on the dial are
available with timing accuracy assured by a Quartz
oscillator. Each number shown on the scale
IS
recip-
rocal, i.e , 1000 means 1/1000 second, 125 means
1/125
second , etc. A one-step change will either
halve or double the exposure ; e.g., a shutter speed
of 1/125sec. lets in twice as much light as 1/250sec.
and half as much light as 1/60sec.
Note: When the shutter speed/mode selector dial is set at
either M90 or
B, the
exposure meter does not work nor do the
LED viewfinder indicators light. When the dial is set at R, the
shutter is automatically locked.
