Setting Auto Exposure (Aperture) - Epson R-D User Manual

Setting Auto Exposure (Aperture)

When you set the aperture, the most appropriate shutter speed settings
are automatically selected. Follow the steps below to set the aperture
for a photo.
1. Rotate the shutter speed dial to AE.
2. Rotate the aperture ring to select the desired value.
3. Pull the shutter charge lever back and release it.
4. Focus on the subject.
5. Press the shutter button all the way down.
Shutter speed is automatically set at an appropriate exposure, and
a picture is taken.
Note:
❏ When you set NR (Noise Reduction) to Hi (High) in the Film Settings
screen and set the exposure at more than 2 seconds, noise reduction is
automatically performed after taking a photo. While the noise reduction
is being performed, do not turn the power off until the SD card access light
goes out. If you turn the power off before the noise reduction procedure is
complete, the image is saved without noise reduction.
❏ For brighter subjects, fast moving subjects or higher speed film, a higher
shutter speed is recommended.
❏ You can take photos locking the aperture value manually. For details, see
"Manually Locking the Aperture Setting" on page 29.
Exposure compensation
Exposure compensation is used to alter the exposure suggested by the
camera. Exposure can be set between AE -2.0 EV (underexposure) and
AE +2.0 EV (overexposure).
