It's aperture priority. That's the main difference between an R4 and an R4s. The R4 has program and shutter priority. The instruction book probably says shutter programme or something like that maybe? Must be a poor translation. The round knob is a self timer. Turn it the direction the arrow on it points and it sets it up for self-timing. Other secrets. My favorite is when you load the film, put the leader in the clips on the takeup spool first (emulsion facing you) and then swing the film cassette around and into its place. Very easy, and much faster than the other way. Make sure to catch the film leader at least a tiny bit behind two of the clips. More sure to hold. ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Profanity sucks.
