Checking the exposure indicator

The trigger works in two steps.

When you press it lightly, the exposure meter circuit turns on. The meter

needle first swings rapidly and then indicates the proper exposure. When

the needle is out of the red warning marks, you are ready to

shoot.

Pull the trigger all the way to begin filming

• The exposure meter does not work if the switch dial is set at "OFF".

The needle on the left red warning mark means under-exposure, and

lighting must be

increas~.

The needle on the right red warning mark

means over-exposure, and exposure must be adjusted with the variable

shutter control or with an NO fi Iter (page 21)

• When the trigger is not pulled, the needle stays in the right red warning

mark.

• When the trigger is pulled while the switch dial is set at "RL", the meter

is working continuously and the needle moves according to the brightness

of the

subject.

Pulling the trigger completely

When you pull the trigger completely,

he film beg ins running and

you actually start

shooting.

Do not forget that zooming and panning

techniques add variety to your pictures.

PANNING

Panning is employed when shooting a scene from one position to another

by moving the camera arounq horizontally to make a

conti

nuous shot over

a wide area in one sequence.

• Do not move the camera too rapidly in any direction

particularly up or

down.

Use of a tripod is recommended.

• Panning shots usually start from subjects of less importance and move on

to the most important subject where they end running the film longer

through the last sequence.
