The variable shutter
The H 16 Reflex camera is equipped with a shutter
whose aperture can be varied both when the camera is
running and when it is stopped. This enables you to
reduce exposure time without changing the filming
speed. In dazzling light, such as snow and water
scenes, the variable shutter can be used to reduce
exposure, thereby often eliminating the need for a
neutral density filter.
The shutter can be locked in each of its four positions
by pushing the lever inwards. The
%
and
%
closed
positions are marked on the face of the lever by the
figures
%
and 1, which signify:
%
closed position (marked
%):
the diaphragm should
be opened half a stop to compensate for the reduced
exposure time, due to the shutter being
%
closed.
%
closed position (marked 1): the diaphragm should be
opened one stop.
A triangular warning signal appears in the
D
reflex viewfinder when the variable shutter
is not in the fully open position.
