duce properly-exposed movies,
the needle remains in the red
area at the left side of the f/stop
scale
(
Fig. 19
).
Movies made with the needle in
that position will be too dark,
underexposed. In extreme cases
of underexposure the film may
not even show an image.
To prevent underexposure, stop
making movies when the needle
touches or is in the red area on
the left side of the scale.
Do not make movies with the
camera pointed at the sun or
other bright light source. The
bright light will influence the
electric eye and make the pictures
too dark.
When the light is too bright, the
needle touches or enters the red
area on the right end of the scale
in the viewfinder. This may occur
when the camera is loaded with
fast film and is used in bright light
(in sunlight or under extremely
bright artificial illumination).
Movies made with the needle in
the red area on the right side of
the scale will be too light, over-
exposed (see "Neutral Density
Filter" section below).
To set the lens opening manually,
turn selector wheel clockwise,
toward "MANUAL", until needle in
viewfinder is over the desired
f/stop.
Fig. 20,
for example,
shows the lens opening set at f/8.
In the manual mode, use an ex-
posure meter to establish the
correct lens opening for the pre-
vailing light level. Set film speed
scale of exposure meter at ASA
speed of film (as indicated on film
box or in film instruction sheet),
then read lens opening at the 1/40
second shutter speed. Set the
camera lens opening 1.5 stops
