ASA/ISO Film Speed Dial
®
Providing ASA/ISO sett ings from 25 to 1600, the film
speed dial is set by lifting up the knurled ring and
rotating it until the desired speed is opposite the wh ite
index. Wh en the ring is released, it locks into place.
The dial can be rotated even underwater without
water getting inside the ca mera .
The wh ite dots between the numbers on the dial re-
present intermediate film speed settings. (See the
adjacent chart at page 23.) .
• Setting the correct ASA/ ISO film speed value is essentia l to
the proper operation of the camera , since the ASA/ ISO film
speed in use is one of the three pieces of information (the
other two being the shutter speed in use and the scene
brightness) used by the camera 's microcomputer to deter-
mine the correct exposure.
