Setting the Parallax Correcting Dial
By
turning
the
parallax correcting dial
(25
), set
the
dial index
to
the
focal length
of
the
lens used. Subsequently, while
the
lens is being extended,
the
pointer
will
appear on
the
upper,
left
portion
of
the
focusing screen. The position
of
this
pointer indicates parallax and
the
exposur,e factor,
Correcting
parallax:
.~
When
the
pointer
appears
on
the
focusing screen;
the
upper
portion
visible above
the
pointer
will be
cut
off
on
the
film.
Be
sure
that
the
subject is
satisfactorily
appears under
the
lower
portion
of
this
pointer. When using
the
camera on a
tripod,
use
the
Paramender (parallax corrrecting device)
to
ensure
that
the
camera
photographs
the
same image viewed on
the
focusing screen
through
simple
operations.
Compensating
exposure:
As
distance between
the
lens and
film
increases, image brightness on
the
film
is
reduced even
though
aperture size remains
the
same. Consequently,
it
is necessary
to
increase
the
exposure.
The
figu
res on
the
focusing screen
left
side indicate
the
exposure
factor.
Com-
pensate
the
exposure
after
reading
the
figure
indicated by
the
pointer
while
focusing.
For instance, assuming
that
the
correct exposure value measured by an exposure
meter is
1/125
sec.
at
fill,
compensate
the
exposure
as
follows:
If
the
pointer
indicates
2,
1/125
sec.,
f/8
or
1/60
sec.,
fill
If
the
pointer
indicates
3,
1/125
sec., between
f/8
and
f/5.6
or
1/60
sec., between
fill
and
f/8
