10a. EXPOSURE CONTROL
1)
Automatic mode (Only with the Power lens upgrade)
With your
Classic Camera
and the power zoom lens, you can choose to
control the aperture automatically. All you have to do is turn the
exposure mode to the “auto” setting. Taking into account the scene
brightness, the film sensitivity and the filming speed, the diaphragm
servomotor instantly and constantly sets the aperture to give the correct
exposure. According to the amount of light being received, the
galvanometer pointer will move in the viewfinder, giving a check of
automatic operation.
Position of the pointer needle:
-Within the notch: exposure is normal.
-Above the notch: risk of overexposure.
-Below the notch: risk of underexposure.
2)
Semi-Automatic mode
If your
Classic Camera
is fitted with a manual lens (zoom or prime), you
may still use the built-in exposure meter to meter your subjects noting
the placement of the pointer needle for correct exposure. To do so, rotate
the aperture ring until the pointer needle rests in the notch located in
the viewfinder.
3)
Manual Control mode <Classic ONLY! Not available on
Crystal Sync options>
The automatism on the
Classic Professional
can be uncoupled (when
using a power lens) allowing you to set the aperture manually. To do so,
set the exposure mode control to Manual. Position and rotate the
diaphragm ring until the f/stop number you require is opposite the dot.
10b. FILTERS
To insure full Max8 framing you should not us any filter or adapter on
the front of the 8-64mm lens. A single filter will only cause a very slight
vignette but only at wide focal length and low F. Stop.
If you choose to use filters the best would be to use them in a Matte Box
For practical reason you may use 49mm filter screwed onto the front of
the lens. Any of these filters can be added to the rental package for an
additional charge.
