To set the shutter speed, the shutter speed dial is turned to the left
or right until the desired speed number lines up with the shutter
speed indicator. The dial rotates in either direction.
The marks "B. I, 2....... 1000" indicate" indicate Bulb, I sec., 1/2
sec ....... ...... 1/1000 1/1000 sec. shutter speed positions.
· The red "60" indicates the shutter speed for synchronization with
electronic flash.
· Shutter speed can be freely changed before or after winding.
When turning the shutter speed dial, see that it falls correctly into
click stop position. If set to intermediate positions, the shutter will
not operate at an accurate speed.
S APERTURE I
· Adjustment of the aperture scale to a point midway between the
settings would give an intermediate f-value.
· The aperture may be set either before or after film advance.
Because the diaphragm mechanism of the MIRANDA Sensorex is
coupled to the metering system, refer to sections on the CdS
exposure meter and method of light measurement for further details
on aperture setting.
The aperture scale of the standard lens has calibrations from f/I.8
(I.4) to f/I6. To adjust the aperture according to the light intensity,
shift the aperture setting lever in either direction. The red indicator
on the lens mount or the diaphragm setting lever is used for reading
the aperture setting.
· The larger the aperture value the less light is transmitted to the
film plane. The calibration on the scale is arranged so that setting
to the next larger value reduces the volume of incoming light by
half. If, there fore, the scale is adjusted in succession to the next
larger value, the volume of light transmitted through the lens would
be decreased in progression of 1/2 I/4, I/8, 1/16 and so on.
