Pentax MV-1 User Manual

THE "100X" AND "B" SETTINGS
While the MV 1 is designed almost totally for use on AUTO, two
other settings are provided on the exposure mode dial for special
shooting situations.
100X : This manual shutter speed setting really need not be used
at all if you use the Pentax AF 200S Auto Flash and keep spare
batteries on hand. It is provided for manual flash synchronization
with flash units other than the AF 200S (see page 21). In addition
it may also be used in emergencies when batteries fail and you do *
not have spare batteries on hand. For emergency exposures without
batteries, merely set the exposure mode dial to "100X" and select
the aperture according to the brightness of your subject (refer to>
the exposure guidelines accompanying the film). The 100X settmq is
also convenient for film wind on (Page 10).
B (Bulb): This setting is used when desiring to make "Time”
exposures longer than 1 second. To use, first mount the camera on
a tripod, then, attach a cable release to the camera's shutter release
button. The shutter will open when the plunger of the cable release
is depressed and remain open as long as pressure is maintained. For
ultra long exposures such as several minutes or hours, use a cable
release with a locking device. Also, cover the viewfinder eyepiece
with the accessory eyepiece cover to prevent excess light from
entering through the rear of the camera.
