Pentax MV-1 User Manual

SHOOTING POINTERS
The basic instructions for shooting on auto are all you need to know
to obtain successful results for most all non-critical photography
However, the MV 1 is a sophisticated single-lens-reflex camera and
as such, is capable of a wide variety of techniques which enable you
to obtain better results in difficult lighting situations, produce
special focusing effects, stop the action, and so forth. If you would
like to expand your skills as a photographer and have your friends
marvel at most all your photographs, then mastering these few
simple techniques is well worth your while.
Optimum Apertures
The aperture gu.de listed on page 1 3 is sufficient for most shoot.nq
purposes and correct exposure w.ll be obtained as long as the green
LED lights. However, with certain subjects and to obtain certain
special effects, it is better to vary from the norm. Any aperture
setting may be used as long as the green LED continues to light.
Stopping the Action: With fast moving subjects such as bicycles
automobiles, horses, children at play, birds in flight etc a fast '
shutter speed is necessary to stop the action and prevent the subject
from blurring. Although the MV 1 does not feature a shutter speed
dial, you can easily stop the action by using a wide lens aperture
where the red LED does not come on. (for example, f/2.8, f/t.7
etc.). As the camera automatically chooses the fastest shutter
speed it can for the given exposure, it will freeze the subject
