Speed values from B to 1/1000th of a second are marked on the disk-shaped knob dial.
The color of the speed letters is orange for 2, 1, and 60, and white for the rest.

To change the shutter speed, turn the outside of the dial as it is and align it with the circled indicator.

In this article, we have introduced the shutter speed dial of Konica’s 1979 release manual focus SLR camera.
Konica’s shutter speed display is very easy to read.
The silver color on the outside of the dial was also a great design accent.

We will continue to introduce shutter speed dials of various specifications in the future, so please look forward to it!
