SETTINGS
(continued)
For instance, if your principal subject is an extremely dark one
and
in an extremely light background, or if your subject is
strongly backlighted, you may elect to use a manual
setting.
With the automatic-manual control set on AUTO, hold the cam-
era aimed at your subject at close range (so as to exclude the
contrasting background from view) and note the lens-opening
setting in the viewfinder as you press slightly downward on the
trigger release (not far enough to run the motor). Then return
to your shooting position and move the contro! toward MANUAL
until the desired setting is "fixed" in the viewfinder. Now shoot
the scene at this MANUAL setting.
Be sure to return the control to AUTO when you want to resume
automatic exposure.
Remember, whenever you want automatically exposed movies,
you must keep this control set on AUTO. Check frequently to
see that it has not been unintentionally moved between scenes,
