Manual exposure control

Manual expos ure is used in the fo ll ow ing situa- tions:

1.Wh en a photograph is to be taken at a certain shutter speed, regard less of the ex pos ure meter needle indication.

2.When the shutter speed is set by making a stop-down measurement.

3.Wh en Bulb(B) ex pos ure is being used for time exposures.

4.When a flashlight is used.

5.When a special photographic technique is to be employed, such as repro-copy photography and macro photography .

To make manual control, press the shutter speed dial lock in the center of the shutter speed dial, and turn the dial and align the desired shutter speed graduation to the indicator mark . In manual ex- posure control, intermediate speeds between graduations cannot be used .

Be sure to set the dial at click-stopped posi - tions. At this time, the green shutter needle in the viewfinder indicates the set shutter speed, and the shutter operates at the indicated sh utter speed when released.

In case of manual exposure control, the black needl e in the viewfinder, indicates the shutter speed which results in the correct exposure in relation to the aperture setting at the time. Thus, when the two needles meet by adjusting either the aperture ring or the shutter speed, a correct exposure will be obtained.
