Canon F1-N manual Shooting with CLOSE-UP Accessories

29 SHOOTING WITH CLOSE-UP ACCESSORIES

With few exceptions (noted in the instructions for the accessory), stopped-down metering is necessary whenever you insert an accessory between the camera and lens for close-up photography.

•If you insert an accessory designed for AUTOMATIC diaphragm control, such as the Auto Bellows or Bellows FL, between the camera and ANY lens, follow the steps for stopped-down metering.

•If you insert an accessory designed for MANUAL diaphragm control, such as M Extension Tubes or Bellows M, between the camera and a NON-FD lens, follow the steps for stopped-down metering. Turn the A-M ring of an FL lens to ”M” for taking the shot (not necessary if Canon Macro Auto Ring and Double Cable Release are used).

•If you insert in accessory designed for MANUAL diaphragm control between the camera and an FD lens, unless you use the Canon Macro Auto Ring and Double Cable Release, first set the lens for manual diaphragm control before mounting it on the accessory. Then follow the steps for stopped-down metering.

Note

The instructions with the accessory will tell you whether or not manual diaphragm control is necessary. The procedure differs according to the type of lens.
