When the proper combination of aperture and
shutter speed setting is made for correct
exposure, the follower needle (which is coupl-
ed to the aperture, shutter speed and ASA
speed settings) will align with the indicator
needle over a range of EV 3 through EV 17 at
ASA 100. The EV range will vary with film
speed.
It is a recommended procedure to set the
shutter speed first (depending on the motion or
lack of motion of your subject or the overall
lighting) and to then adjust the aperture.
If the needle fails to move when the
diaphragm ring is rotated this signals a need to
adjust your shutter speed setting.
A shutter speed scale is visible in the
viewfinder which permits you to make all
exposure adjustments without removing the
camera from your eye.
CAUTION:
• When setting the aperture first, be sure not to
set the shutter speed between click stops.
• When the shutter speed is set slower than
1/3Oth sec.. be extremely careful of camera
motion while releasing the shutter. It is
recommended that a tripod be used at speeds
of 1/3Oth sec. or slower. For "Bulb" setting, a
cable releaseshould also be used.
• When using high-speed film, a shutter speed of
1/250th sec. is recommended for outdoor
photography, and 1/30th sec. for indoor use.
• When photographing a group of people or a
building requiring great depth of field, close
down the diaphragm as much as possible. See
the "depth of field" on page 25 for details.
• All metering should be done in horizontal
position.
