Canon AUTO ZOOM 1014 - Manual (Page 31)

k Focusing
• Rotate the focusing ring while looking through the viewfinder until
the point where the divided image of the subject on the split-image screen
can be seen correctly matched in the center of the viewfinder. You can
focus more easily and exactly at the longest focal length.
Once the subject is focused, it is always in focus even during zooming.
Therefore, it is advisable to focus first at maximum magnification 170mm)
and then return to the required magnification.
5 Composition
The viewfinder is of the single-lens reflex type and has no parallax. All
that you see in the viewfinder will be exposed on the film. Decide your
composition in the full frame. Framing the subject can be decided by
changing distance or by zooming.
C Checking the meter needle
^ When the trigger is pulled lightly, the meter needle makes a full swing
to the left, and then indicates the proper exposure.
When the needle is out of the red warning marks, you are ready to shoot.
Pull the trigger all the way to begin filming.
• The exposure meter does not work if the switch dial is set at "OFF".
• If the needle is in the left red warning mark, it is warning of
under-exposure, so the lighting must be increased. If the needle is in the
right red warning mark, it means over-exposure. Adjust the exposure with
the variable shutter control or use an ND filter.
• When the trigger is not pulled, the needle stays in the right red warning
mark.
• When the trigger is pulled while the switch dial is set at "RL", the meter
is working continuously and the needle moves according to the brightness
of the subject.
7 Pulling the trigger all the way
• The film begins to run and you start shooting.
