While the exposure meters are on, rotate the main command dial to choose a
shutter speed, and the sub-command dial to set aperture. Shutter speed can be
set to "p" or to values between 30 s and
open indefinitely for a long time-exposure (A, 0 73). Aperture can be set
to values between the minimum and maximum for the lens. Use the exposure
indicators to check exposure.
