Contax S2 User Manual

The
lens aperture
ring
is
used
to
increase
or
reduce the
amount
of
light
reaching
the
film surface.
To set
the
lens aperture,
turn
the aperture
ring so
that
the
clickstop
setting
for the
desired
f-number
setting
matches
up
with
the
focus/aperture
index
mark.
Intermittent
f-number
settings
can
also
be
selected.
Each
time
a
higher
f-number
is selected
(for
example,
on
changing
the
aperture
setting
from
f4 to
f5.6),
the
lens
aperture
narrows down
one step
and
the amount
of
light
reaching
the
film
decreases
by
112. Conversely,
each
time
a
smaller
aperture
is
selected,
the
lens
aperture
widens
one
step
and
the
amount
of
light
reaching
the
film doubles.
.
Varying
the
aperture
setting
not only
allows
you
to
increase
or decrease
the amount
of
light on
the
subject
for different
exposure
effects,
but also
allows
you
to
control
the
depth
of
field
to create
different
focusing
effects.
