The
built-in

a
very broad range capabfe
of offering correct
exposure
inalmost
all photographic
situations.
However,
if the user
triesto set a shutterspeed
which
is
beyond
thecoupf
ing range
ofthe built-
in meter,
a red
warning
ff
ag
will
appear
between
the plus
and minus
signs

be
set
by
rotating

the chart below indicates
the towest shutter
