Exposure Setting
Exposure
adjustment
is
done
by
adjusting
the
shutter
speed
and
the
lens
aperture.
Correct
exposure
is
easily
determined
by
the coupled, built-in light meter.
SETTING THE SHUTTER SPEED . . .
Turn
the
shutter
speed
dial
and
set
the
desired
shutter
speed
figure
to
the
index
mark.
iia.: ;
Index Mark
1 second,
1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/30,
B ” tbulb; and “ T ”
The
shutter
can
be
adjusted
to
speeds
of
1/60, 1/125, 1/250, 1/500, and 1/1000 of a second as well as
(time) exposures and " X."
The
“B”
exposure
is
used
for
exposures
of
over
1
second.
The
shutter
stays
open
as
long
as
the
shutter
button
is
kept
depressed.
The
"T”
exposure
is
used
for
long
exposures.
When
the
shutter
button
is
pressed,
it
will
remain
depressed,
even
after
your
finger
is
removed,
leaving
the
shutter
open.
By
turning
the
shutter
spaed
dial
slightly
in
either
"B”
or
"X”
direction,
the
shutter
button
snaps
back
into
its
former position and the shutter closes.
The
"X”
scale
reading
is
used
for
speedlight
(electroflash)
synchronization.
The
shutter
speed
is
approximately
1/60
of
a
second
;
however,
the
effective
time
of
the exposure in this case depends on the peak performance of the speed light used.
• The figures on the shutter speed dial represent fractions of a second.
• Do not set the shutter speed dial between two figures. It must be set exactly
on a "click” stop.
