Pentax MV-1 User Manual

APERTURE SETTING
Keep the exposure mode dial set at AUTO. Rotate the aperture ring
of the lens and preselect the lens aperture (also called f-number) in
accordance with shooting conditions as follows.
Fine weather.
Cloudy weather
Indoors.
. f/8 ~ f/11
.. f/4 ~ f/5.6
f/1.2 - f/2.8
The above is a rough guide that is highly useful for most shooting
situations such as for snapshots and scenery. These apertures will give
satisfactory exposure as long as the green LED in the viewfinder
lights. If other LEDs should light, reset the aperture in accordance
with the instructions given on the following page.
Although the above is all you need to know to obtain better results
than you have perhaps ever obtained before with most of your
photographs, as you gain more experience you may want to vary the
lens aperture for special effects, such as highlighting your
subject by throwing the background and foreground out of focus
by using wider apertures, etc. If you are interested in learning these
special aperture control techniques, refer to the section entitled
"Shooting Pointers/' (page 22).
