Center your main subject in the viewfinder and check
the exposure information. Remember that in the
manual mode, centerweighted metering is always in operation
regardless of the position of the metering control button. The
selected f-number is shown through the ADR window When the
shutter release button is depressed halfway, the LCD shows the
selected shutter speed preceded by the letter M.
If the -+ indication is displayed above the M, you will get the
correct exposure with the selected combination of aperture
and shutter speed. If only - is shown, this indicates possible
underexposure: use a wider aperture or a slower shutter speed.
If only + is shown, this indicates possible overexposure: in this
case, use a smaller aperture or faster shutter speed.

M250 and B Settings
At M250 and B, the FA's shutter is mechanically
controlled without the exposure meter being activated or
exposure information appearing in the viewfinder.
At M250, the shutter operates at a mechanical speed of
1/250sec This setting is used when the batteries are
depleted and other shutter speeds are not operable It also
can be used for flash photography.
At B, the shutter remains open for as long as the shutter
release button is depressed. B is especially useful for
making long time exposures with a cable release and
tripod.
A locking mechanism is provided between 1 and M250 on
the shutter speed dial. To set either M250 or B, depress
the locking button and rotate the dial to either M250
or B.
• At these mechanical settings, you must depress the
shutter release button a little bit more than at other
settings to trip the shutter Note that with the Soft Shutter
Release AR 9 attached, you cannot release the shutter
at these settings.
