6. Selecting
the
best
shutter
speed
The figures 2 to 500
on
the shutter speed dial 1 indicate fractions
of
a second. The speed dial engages at
each setting; never set intermediate values. Image sharpness depends, among other things, on the use
of
a
sufficiently fast shutter speed. Therefore :
With
hand-held
exposures: Use fast speeds to avoid camera shake. The longest usable time is
113
0
second;
1160
and
11125
second are
sa
fer and more reliable. With a not very steady band use
11
125 or,
better still,
11250
second .
With
moving subjects: Use short exposure times to avoid movement blur.
As
a general guide:
• Motor races,
tennis-
1/500 second.
• Horse races, cross country runners -
1/500 second.
In
general: Movement at close range and across the
viewing direction needs faster shutter speeds, movement
from greater distances and approaching or receding from
the camera allows slower shutter speeds.
Longtime exposures

·
The "B" setting on the shutter speed dial provides time exposures
of
any required length. Keep the release
button depressed for the required exposure time. The shutter closes when you let go again.
With longtime exposures you can also take shots in very poor light which is too weak for an exposure
meter reading.
As
a special case,
if
y ou arrive at the "B" setting
by
lining up the matching pointer 17, the
correct exposure time is 1 second (double the next exposure setting).
For
long time exposures: place the camera
on
a finn support or a tripod and use a cable release with time
lock (see hint
3).
