>(a) On the shutter speed dial, there's the usual markings of

P stands for Program mode (standard program that gives you 1/125 f5,6 EV 12
and 1/250 f 8 EV 14 for exampel with ISO 100)
P hi is used when you require high shutter speed (gives you 1/250 f4,5 EV 12
and 1/500 f 5,6 EV 14 and ISO 100 )
P dual automaticly change between P and P hi depending on the lenght of the
lens. There is a smal notch, called Lens type signal notch, om the back of
lenses of AI-S type that indicates the fokal length of the lens.
>(b) Behind the shutter release button, there's a knob with two

Turns on and off the audible warning. A warning is heared, if turned on:
- if you use DX setting and a none DX coded film.
- if shutterspeed is longer than 1/30 or faster than the shortest possible
1/2000.
- when using the self timer.
>(c) In between the above knob and the shutter speed dial, there's

All correct
>(d) Finally, what sort of metering does this camera have? If

There is only centre-weighted exposure metering.
