WAYS OF USING SR-T EXPOSURE CONTROL
Your SR-T's match-needle system offers a
quick, easy, and flexible method of obtaining
proper exposure that offers considerable
con-
trol over results to su it the conditions and
yourself.
General use
For usual good personal
pictures,
such as
Example A
below,
where no particular effect is
desired, simply set a shutter speed
(say,
about
1/125 sec.) fast enough to sufficiently "stop"
subject motion and guard against blur from
camera movement (see
p.
33) that will result in
correct exposure at a medium aperture (say,
about f/8) that will provide as much depth of
field (see
p.
31) as possible.
Shutter Priority
There may be times when the subject or
effect you want may make it most important to
select a particular shutter speed. I n this case,
first set the required speed (except the "8"
setting), then use the match-needle system to
set the aperture that will give proper exposure
at that speed. High shutter speeds such as 1/500
to 1/1000
sec.
can "freeze" fast action, as in
Example 8
below.
Such slow speeds as 1/2 to 1
sec. can be used to emphasize subject flow or
motion, as in Example
C.
