ipEE Lock Lever for Shooting Against Light
lOwhen you shoot against a strong light source,
first meter the main subject or area to be photo­
graphed which you want to be most clearly or
normally exposed, and set the EE lock lever to hold
that reading. Then compose the picture and begin
filming. While the lock lever is up, it locks the ex­
posure, and it opens the aperture about one stop at
a bright window, or 2 to 3 stops with a background
of snow or sun. The EE lock lever is especially
effective in high contrast situations, and can also be
used effectively in panning where a difference in
lighting conditions exist.
IQ Macrocinematography
*7 /\ macrocinematography mechanism at both
wide angle and telephoto enables close-up shooting.
Telephoto macrocinematography permits a greater
shooting distance, so the exposure is more flexible
and moving subjects are easier to catch. With
close-up shooting it is possible to shoot small plants
and insects, enlarging them in size to fill the picture
frame. Wide angle macrocinematography is also
suitable for title shooting. The following chart
indicates the distance and field of view.
* For macro shooting, use an f/number greater than
f/5.6.
