18 Macrophotography with a Zoom
Since the macro setting lever is adjusted to function
only along the macro indication line, the focus will
change gradually from the closest distance set on the
focusing ring to the farthest as the lever is pushed.
If it is operated as it should be, you will zoom in on
the subject.
19 Single Frame Shooting
Single frame shooting is very effective to show in a
short time changes that happen over a period of time
or when shooting animations. First, set the filming
speed dial to "18" and set the main switch to "1",
Each time you press the shutter release lever, the
camera will shoot one frame. Exposure is, of course,
decided by AE.
When shooting a single frame sequence, it is necessary
to calculate the number of frames necessary for the
sequence. For example, if you wish to show the
blooming of a flower which takes an hour to bloom,
in 5 seconds on the screen the number of frames
necessary is 5 times the projection speed, usually
18 fps. Therefore 90 frames must be taken over the
one hour period, or one frame every 40 seconds.
