7. Pre-selecting apertures

According to the type of subject you can line up the matching pointer 17 with the meter needle by turning either the aperture dial 5 or the shutter speed dial 1.

With moving subjects pre-select the exposure time to make sure of a suitably fast shutter speed Then match up the pointer by turning the aperture dial.

If on the other hand depth of field is more important (see hint 8), determine the required aperture and preselect this Now match up the pointer 17 by turning the shutter speed dial 1. If necessary complete the exact matching with the aperture dial 5 to get a speed value in clickstop position.

In every case the camera must point at the subject while you line up the pointer.
