shutter needle in
the
viewfinder is positioned at

This
automatically
controlls
the
shutter
speed, and
the
black needle (exposure metering needle)
in the
viewfinder will
indicate the correct shutter
speed.
The shutter speed
varies in
response
to the lens
aperture and the
brightness
of
the
subject, as
long
as
ASA of the loaded
film
has been
set.
When
the camera
is
set on
A
(auto), the camera
operates at
intermediate
shutter speeds
when the
needle
is at an
intermediate position between
graduations on the
scale.
When
the exposure
meter
needle
falls
into either upper
or
lower warning
zones
in
orange, the
brightness
of the subject
is
outside the
range
of automatic shutter speed
control to
be indicated
on the scale.
