WA VS OF USING SR-T EXPOSURE CONTROL
Your SR-Ts match-needle system offers a
quick, easy, and flexible method of obtaining
proper exposure that offers considerable con-
trol over results to suit the conditions and
yourself.
General use
For usual good personal pictures, such as
Example A below, where no particular effect is
desired, simply set a shutter speed (say, about
1 /125 sec.) fast enough to sufficiently "stop"
subject motion and guard against blur from
camera movement (see p. 33) that will result in
correct exposure at a medium aperture (say,
about f/8) that will provide as much depth of
field (seep. 31) as possible.
A: Medium shutter speed and lens aperture
Shutter Priority
There may be times when the subject or
effect you want may make it most important to
select a particular shutter speed. In this case,
first set the required speed (except the "B"
setting), then use the match-needle system to
set the aperture that will give proper exposure
at that speed. High shutter speeds such as 1 /500
to 1/1000 sec. can "freeze" fast action, as in
Example B
be.low. Such
slow speeds as 1 /2 to
1 sec. can be used to emphasize subject flow
or motion, as in Example C.
Aperture priority
At other times, it may be most important to
select a lens opening to obtain a particular effect,
B: High shutter speed
