Time
Single frame filming-- Instantaneous: Turn
the knob until the guide mark is in the “I”
position. The effective exposure time in this
position is 1/30 of a second. Time: Place
guide mark in “T” position; shutter will remain
open as long as side release is in the “P”
position.
Variable Shutter
The H16 is equipped with a shutter whose
aperture can be varied when the camera is
running and when it is stopped. This enables
you to reduce exposure time without altering
the camera running speed or f-stop. In bright
light, the variable shutter can be used to
reduce exposure, therefore eliminating the
need for a neutral density filter.
The shutter may be locked in each of its four
positions by pulling it out and pushing in
when at the desired setting.
Fully open -- normal exposure -- at the red
mark.
1/4 closed -- exposure reduced by a half stop
1/2 closed -- exposure reduced by a full stop
Fully closed -- no light reaching the film plane
In some cameras, a triangular warning signal
will appear in the viewfinder if the variable
shutter is not in the fully open position.
