Eyepiece Shutter
When unmanned photography is performed with the FA in one
of its automatic exposure modes, stray light entering the eye-
piece will affect the meter
reading.
To prevent
this,
use the
eyepiece shutter. Just push the lever up to close the shutter. As
a visual reminder that it is in
use,
the shutter blind is painted red.
INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHY
To create other-worldly
effects,
in which vegetation comes out
light in tone and blue skies very
dark,
try shooting with
black-
and-white infrared film
.
In black and white irvrared
photography,
you must use a red filter (R60) and refocus the lens to
com-
pensate for the fact that infrared light rays focus at a point
slightly in front of visible light. For this purpose, most lenses
have an infrared focusing
index
@
(a red dot or line) beside the
distance
index
@
as
a rule of
thumb.
Follow this procedure
:
1) Without the red filter in
place,
look into the viewfinder and
focus on your subject.
2) Look at the lens and take note of the focused distance
.
3) Reset the focusing ring so that the desired distance is aligned
with the infrared focusing
index.
4) Attach the red filter and take the shot.
