Mode/shutter-speed selector and

P/A-lock release

The mode/shutter-speed selector

can be rotated continuously in ei-

ther direction but locks at "P" and

"A" to prevent accidental move-

ment. Release the selector by press-

ing the P/A-lock release, then turn

it until it clicks or locks into place

at the desired position.

Minimum-aperture lock

In P mode, it is recommended to

lock the lens at its minimum aper-

ture to prevent accidental move-

ment. To do so, line up the green

f-number (f/16, f/22, or f/32, de-

pending on lens) with the index,

then pull the slider toward the

camera. To release the lock for A

mode or M mode, push the slider

away from the camera body.

NOTE

• Only new-type MD lenses have

the lock.

Eyepiece cap

If the shutter is released without

the eyepiece being shielded by your

head (such as in remote or self-

timer operation, etc.) when the

camera is used in P or A mode or at

"B", slide the eyepiece cap onto

the frame around the eyepiece to

prevent unwanted light from affect-

ing the meter reading and exposure.

The eyepiece cap can be thread-

ed on the camera strap to keep it

handy for use.
