Example:

than that recommended by the automatic system (i.e. exposure time is doubled, the negative gets

darker, while transparencies and Polaroid pictures get brighter).

MAN mode (Manual exposure control)

Pressing the <MAN> button activates exposure

control by a manually entered exposure time.

The manually entered exposure time is

indicated on the LCD display.

During the exposure, the time indication is

running back to zero.

Starting from the basic setting of 1 s, the

exposure time can be expanded or reduced by

whole increments by repeatedly pressing the

<UP> or <DOWN> button, respectively.

Keep <UP> or <DOWN> depressed for a fast

browsing of exposure times.

Shortest exposure time: 0.008 s = 1/125 s

Longest exposure time: 4000 s
