Shutter and Aperture Adjustment
Exposures are adjusted by the shutter and
aperture . The shutter controls the exposure
time and the aperture controls the amount of
incoming light. The Canon FT uses the zero·
adjustment coupled meter, a very simple
method of obtaining proper exposures.
Shutter Speed Dial
Adjust the shutter speed by turning the shutter
speed dial to the desired index number . The
index on the dial shows the denominators of
1/ 1000 sec., 1/ 500 sec ., etc .
• The shutter speed dial does not revolve be·
tween the indexes " X" and "B".
• Be sure to set the index at a position where
12
the click· stop catches. In case of "B" index,
adjust it to the white dot just below the" B "
index.
II "B" indicates bulb exposure, and is used
when
making exposures of more than one
second. When
the shutter speed dial is set at
" B ", the shutter remains open as long as the
shutter release button is pressed.
• When time exposure is necessary to make
an
exposure over an extended time, first set the
shutter speed dial at "B" . Keep the shutter
release button pressed, and turn the time lock
lever
to "L". The shutter remains open even
if the finger is removed from the button. When
the lever is returned to "A", the shutter closes .
