Pentax ME Super - Shooting Pointers

SHOOTING POINTERS
Your ME SUPER's automatic exposure system featuring color-coded
shutter speed indications in the viewfinder makes it extremely easy
to obtain excellent results in nearly all general shooting situations.
However,
there
are
also
a
few
basic
aperture
and
shutter
speed
control
techniques that enable you to vary the effect of your photos for
better results with fast subjects and so forth. If SLR photography is
new to you, it will be well worth your while to master these few
simple techniques.
Optimum Apertures
The aperture guide listed on page 13 is sufficient for almost all
shooting purposes and correct exposure will be obtained as long as

Any
aperture
setting
may
be
used
as
long
as
either
a
green
or yellow LED shutter speed indicator lights (in the case of the latter,
provided you take precautions against camera shake).
Stopping the Action: With moving subjects such as bicycles, auto-
mobiles, horses, children at play, birds in flight, etc., a fast shutter
speed is necessary to stop the action and prevent the subject from

etc. However, when shooting on "AUTO," you can usually select
а shutter speed fast enough to stop the action simply by using
