Miranda Sensomat - Exposure Control with Auto-Miranda Lenses

-- EXPOSURE CONTROL WITH AUTO-MIRANDA LENSES _______________ _
r
These lenses are provided with the intern al diaphr ag m coupling.
After having set the correct ASA film speed and selected a
diaphragm opening, press
the exposure meter activating button. In
the viewfinder th e-needle will move either in + (over) or - (under)
direction. Adjustment can now
be made by turning either shutter
speed dial or diaphragm ring till
the n ee dle reaches the center
position.
If for any reason, such as refocusing, th e diaphragm has to be
opened before picture
is taken , the small relea se button, above the
exposure meter activating
button is to be depressed.
To determine whether to use
the shutter speeds or diapfiragm
control greatly depends
on the depth of field required. Closing the
lens down increases the depth of field, while opening reduces it.·
If speed is of prime importance such as sports or stage
photography, then
it is advisable to preselect the required shutter
speed and adjust
the exposure by the diaphragm control. I(for
tables see page 32)
The same applies to other automatic lenses which couple to the
automatic diaphragm mechanism
of the Miranda Sensomat, and do
not belong to the Auto Miranda Series.
CAUTION When
the camera is not to be used for some time
make sure
that the exposure meter is switched off by
pressing the release bu
tton.
