Operating Instructions

147
Standard setting (Example A)
Shutter speed dial set to 60
Particularly suitable for
• Normal subjects with uncritical lighting
conditions
• Focal lengths between 35mm and 90mm
A lens with a speed of 4 is used (e.g. Vario-
Elmar-R 35-70 mm f/4). The shutter speed dial is
set to 1/60s. This results in a progression
corresponding to line A. For example, with an
exposure value of EV 14, this program setting
leads to exposure of 1/250s at f/8.
To achieve a larger depth of field and/or
slower shutter speed (Example B)
Set the shutter speed dial between 16 s and
1/15 s. There is a tendency for lenses to be stop-
ped down more with longer exposure times. Par-
ticularly suitable for
• Good lighting conditions and short focal lengths
• Static subjects, e.g. landscape photography
Warning:
Longer exposure times increase the risk of blur-
ring!
A lens with a speed of 2.8 is used (e.g. Vario-
Elmarit-R 19 mm f/2.8). The shutter speed dial is
set to
1
/
2
s. This results in a progression corres-
ponding to line B. At the same exposure value of
EV14, this program leads to an exposure of
1/60s at f/16.
