instance, you set the aperture ring to a wider aperture (smaller f-
number value) by turning it counterclockwise until the green LED
lights. For example, if it is set at f/5.6, turn it to f/4, f/2, etc. If the
green LED does not come on, even after you have set the lens to the
widest aperture, do either of the following.
Use a tripod - Page 35 Switch to flash photography - Page 20, 21
Because the MV 1 auto exposure system selects the shutter speed
for you steplessly between 1 /1000 and 1 sec. in relation to the
aperture setting, the above is all you need to know about exposure
control for satisfactory results with most subjects. However, for
better results in difficult lighting, shooting against the light, with
fast moving subjects, etc., refer to the section "Shooting Pointers"
(Page 22) when you feel you are ready to master special techniques
to use in such situations.
--—CAUTION—-
If you should happen to press the shutter button while the
shutter dial is set on AUTO with the lens cap on, or in very
poor lighting conditions, the mirror may lock up, resulting
in abnormally long exposure. To correct this, the shutter
can be quickly closed by turning the shutter dial to 100X.
After closing the shutter, be sure to reset the shutter dial
to AUTO.
If you use a tripod or make
an exposure at any time
without your eye to the
viewfinder eyepiece, cover
the eyepiece with the
accessory Finder Cap;
otherwise light entering
from the rear of the camera
may adversely affect the
exposure.
