Mounting The Camera; Exposure - Zero Image Zero 6 x 12B Instruction Manual

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. Remember to loosen all of the control knobs of
your tripod before tilting or swinging the camera otherwise you may
damage the tripod socket.
Calculating the exposure time:
Our camera comes with an exposure scale
(G). If you have a light meter, you can make
use of the exposure scale (G) to calculate
the exposure time easily. The numbers on
the outer ring of the exposure scale (G) are
the exposure time ranging from 1/8000 of a
second to 15 hours and numbers on the
inner (movable) dial indicate f/stop number
setting. These range from f/1.4 to f/500.
1. Use a light meter to get a reading of the
scene you wish to photograph. Choose
the f/stop that is aligned most closely
with a given exposure time. (For
example, the reading is f/5.6, 1/500
seconds).
2. Look at the inside ring and find the f/
stop selected from the light meter (f/5.6
in this example). Turn the dial until that
f/stop matches with the correct exposure
time (1/500 seconds in this example).
3. Now find the f/stop of your camera on the inside dial (f/stop of the 6 x
12B camera is f/158). It will be aligned with the estimated exposure
time of the photograph you wish to take, i.e. 1.5 seconds in this example.
