Praktica PLC3 User Manual

Automatic exposure control
The
automatic exposure control is connected with an electrical
transmission of the diaphragm values thus enabling light metering
at fully open aperture, and consequently with a bright viewfinder
image. The lenses provided with the electrical transmission of the
diaphragm values are fitted for this purpose with contact pins.
It is, however, also possible to use any other lenses wi thout the
elec~ric value transmission provided they have the PRAKTICA lens
thread. Metering is then made with the taking aperture, with the
viewfinder image somewhat darkened according to the selected
aperture.
Both the methods of light metering offer two possibilities :
a) preselection of shutter speed and compensation by altering the
diaphragm value,
b) preselection of a certain diaphragm number and compensation
by altering the shutter speed.
