Turn the Shutter Speed Dial (20),
select a reading on the Shutter
Speed Scale (19) suitable for your
subject and bring it in line with the

In normal circum-

shutter speed to 1/125 sec. for
outdoor shooting and 1/30 sec. for
indoor picture-taking.

Train your camera at the subject,
look through the viewfinder, focus

secure correct exposure.
