F65 shutter speed question
Hi,
I saw your replies to some users and I was wondering if you could explain something to me. I recently tried an f65. Before I have only tried a completely manual SLR and loved it. Therefore, the automatic mode kind of confuses me. As one other user, after only a couple shots the camera showed an FEE message in the upper right corner of the screen. I had just gotten new batteries so it was a surprise. I thought it might have been the film but everything was fine there. You advised to others to check their speed was set to the highest (22). I had been used to setting up everything manually, so I don't understand what happens if I set it to the highest setting. What if I need different speeds, will it self-adjust? How do I change them if I can't do it manually? Please help! I am very confused.

The lens must be set to F/22 on that model so the camer can set the aperture. Setting it to 22 tells the camera it is ready, so the camera can actually set the proper f/stop according to the light level. You can set the aperture yourself using the control knobs on the camera - in manual settings. In Aperture, or Shutter settings, you can set the aperture or shutter speed and the camera will set the right exposure. On Program, the camera sets both aperture and shutter.
