Canon FT - F;Stop Priority Exposure

fjStop Priority Method
1
Set the pre· set aperture ring at the desired f/stop.
2 Face the camera towards the subject, look into the
viewfinder, and press the metering lever.
3 While pressing or locking the lever, turn the shutter
speed dial.
4 Set the meter needle at the "0" index within the
vi ewfinder for correct exposure.
• Since the shutter speed dial cannot be set at the inter·
mediate positions, the shutter speed priority method is
recommended when exposure accuracy is a
crucial factor.
• Light measurement at " B " and "X" of the shutter
speed dial is not possible with the built·in exposure meter
because" B" is used for long exposures over one second,
and
"X" is for the electronic flash unit.
• When the built ·in exposure meter is outside the coupling
range, the meter needle will point to the top of the view·
finder and will indicate that proper exposure cannot be
obtained. Refer to "Co upling Range of Built · ln Exposure
Meter" on the following page.
• Do not leave the camera on the conditions mentioned
above since the battery discharges in maximum current
and makes shorter the life . To prevent discharging be
sure
to re· adjust the shutter speed dial.
