The shutter speed to use depends on the type of film you are using, the
subject, and the amount of light available.
 |
| Turn the Shutter Speed Dial until the desired speed is opposite the
Speed Index (set to a stop).
|
The numbers on the dial are fractions of a second. Ordinarily you would
use 125 (1/125 second) for normal outdoor shots, slower speeds (1/60, 1/30)
on dull days, and faster speeds (1/250, 1/500) for action pictures.
Some Recommended Shutter Speed Settings
Conditions | Speed |
| Bright Light / Fast Action | 1/500 or 1/250 second |
| Normal Light with Fast Film | 1/125 second |
| Normal Light with Slow Film | 1/60 second |
| Dull Light | 1/30 second |
| Very Dim Light | 1/15 second (use a tripod) |
The settings of 1/15 and 1/8 second should be used with the camera on
a tripod to prevent camera movement during exposure. The B setting is
for time exposures - the shutter will remain open as long as the
Shutter Release is held down. NOTE: After setting a shutter
speed, check the Exposure Indicator with the camera aimed at the
subject. If the indicator is not in the clear area, turn
to a higher (or lower) speed. See page
