Notes:
With extreme brightness, the shutter speed
range may no longer be sufficient for the select-
ed aperture. In this case, (2.9b) appears in
the viewfinder. To remedy this problem, you can,
if possible, select a smaller aperture.
If the display (2.9b) appears in the viewfinder in
conditions of very poor light, a larger aperture
should be selected, to prevent underexposure.
If the metering range is not reached, the corres-
ponding warning also appears (2.1). It is then
no longer possible to correctly meter the ex-
posure.
Shutter speed priority mode -
T
This mode is used primarily for moving subjects,
where the exposure time is a creative tool. For
example, this applies to sequences of movement,
sports photographs, photographs taken from an
unsteady location and photographs taken with
longer focal lengths.
To use it:
1. Set the exposure mode dial (1.11) to T
2. Close the diaphragm completely, i.e. turn the
aperture setting ring (1.12) to its largest value
(e.g. 16 or 22)
3. Select the desired exposure time between
1/8000s to 16s on the shutter speed dial
(1.16)
The lens aperture is then set automatically based
on the available light, and is continuously adjusted
between a fully open and minimum aperture for
the relevant lens (or the set minimum aperture,
see below). 
