In addition to automatic stepless shutter speed control,

X, B, and T. To move the shutter speed dial off "A," depress
the locking button

as you rotate the dial counterclock-
wise to the 112000 sec . setting. You can then rotate the
dial freely between any setting except "X" which, like
"A," is a locked setting . Shutter speeds from 112000 sec.
to 112 sec. are engraved in white, 1 to 8 seconds in
orange, and "B," "T" and "X" in white. 1/60 sec. is in red,
indicating the highest manual shutter speed for proper
synchronization with electronic flash except "X."
When the camera is on manual, an "M" appears to the left
of the liquid crystal shutter speed display inside the
viewfinder. In addition, above the "M," the following
symbols appear: "-,"
"+"

tively. To obtain correct exposure, simply turn the shutter
speed dial and/or aperture ring until the "-
