Manual exposure control
Manual exposu
re
is u
sed
in
the fo
ll
ow
in
g situa-
tions:
1.
Wh
en
a photograph
is
to
be
taken
at
a certain
s
hutt
er speed, regard l
ess
of
the
ex
p
os
ur
e meter
ne
edle indication.
2.
When
the shutt
er
speed
is
set
by
making a
stop-down
me
as
urement.
3.
Wh
en Bulb(B)
ex
p
os
ure
is
being used for time
exposures.
4.
When
a flashlight
is
us
ed.
5.
When
a special photographic technique
is
to
be
employed, such
as
repro-copy photography and
macro
ph
otography.
To make manual control, press the shutter speed
dial lock
in
the center
of
the shutter speed
di
a
l,
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,
a
nd
the shutter operates
at
the indicated
sh
utter speed
wh
en released.
In
case
of
manual exposure control, the black
needle
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
me
et
by adjusting
either the aperture ring or the shutter speed,
a correct exposure
will
be
obtained.
