Set mode/shutter-speed selector at

any position from "1" to "1000".

Taking a picture in M mode

To use the X-700 in metered- or

full-manual mode, first release the

mode/shutter-speed selector from

"P" or "A" and check to see that

the lens is not locked at minimum

aperture.

There are two ways to use

metered-manual mode:

• When you wish to use a certain

shutter speed, first set the selector

at any click-stop setting from 1 sec.

to 1/1000 sec, then turn the aper-

ture ring until the LED next to that

speed lights up.

• When you wish to use a certain

aperture, first set the aperture ring,

then set the stepped shutter speed

according to the value recommend-

ed by the LED. If two LEDs light

up, adjust the aperture ring some-

what until only one lights. Do not

set the shutter-speed selector be-

tween click stops.

Number agreement can, of

course, be disregarded and any

shutter-speed and lens-aperture

combination set for full manual

operation (see p. 29).

NOTE

• In M mode, the slow-shutter-

speed warning indicates that the

camera-recommended setting —

NOT the actual setting - is 1/30

sec. or slower.
