MOUNTING THE CAMERA The camera comes with a tripod mount located at the bottom. You can mount the camera to a tripod or just put it on the ground or on a table. We highly recommend that you use a tripod if you want to frame your scene precisely or if you need to keep your camera stable for a long time or for a fast exposure.

If you don't want to use a light meter, use 2-4 seconds under bright sunlight, 4-20 seconds for shade; 4-10 minutes for cloudy, for indoor or a lighted scene, use 15-45 minutes or more. These estimated exposure times are based on ASA100 film. Reciprocity Corrections If the exposure time is shorter than 1/10,000 seconds or longer than 1 second, it is necessary to calculate and adjust for reciprocity failure.
