EXPOSURE CONTROLS

•

The servo-controlled through-the-lens

metering system automatically con¬

trols the lens diaphragm according to

the scene brightness, the ASA speed

of the film and the running speed

of the camera. To switch on the

meter, squeeze the trigger halfway

to the first click-stop. The needle

in the viewfinder continuously indi¬

cates what aperture the diaphragm

will provide during exposure. When

the available light is too bright or

dim, the needle will swing into the

red zone at the extreme right or left

of the aperture scale to warn you of

over-

underexposure.

Under

adverse lighting conditions, switch to

a film whose ASA rating is suitable

to the available light or mount a

neutral density (NO) filter on the

lens to reduce the light. An alterna¬

tive method is the use of artificial

lighting to increase luminosity.

For manual control, lift up the EE

lock/manual

aperture

setting ring

and turn it until the needle in the

viewfinder

swings

to the

desired

aperture setting.

Note:

The

following

two

conditions

should

considered

normal

meter

operation—not art Indication of meter

failure. Condition 1: when the trigger is

released, the meter needle will remain

stationary at the last Indicated aperture.

Condition 2; should filming be started In

low illumination conditions below the EV

range of the camera, the meter needle will

remain stationary; supplementary light

should be added to obtain meter response.
