FOR BETTER PICTURES
1. For better color pictures, shoot in soft, diffused light.
2. When shooting by available light indoors, be aware that the colour of nearby
objects or walls, will be reflected onto the subject. This can result in
undesirable colour tints that cannot be compensated for in printing. Also pay
attention to your clothing that can reflect colour particularly while shooting
close-ups.
3. When the YELLOW arrow in ON, use a tripod (also with B and Self-Timer).
4. When the main subject is the point of interest, use the largest aperture
suited for the prevailing light. If a greater depth of field is required, stop
down the aperture as necessary.
5. When it is necessary to stop action in outdoor photography, turn the
Aperture Ring to where the RED arrow just disappears. At this point, the
shutter is about 1/500 sec.
6. When photographing spot-lighted subjects or against light, reset the ASA
Film Speed Index Setting Ring.
Example with ASA 100 film:
9
Strong spot-lighted subject - reset to ASA 200-400.
9
Against light - reset to ASA 50 or 25.
9
The use of a Neutral Density [ND] or Polarizing filter when shooting in
blazing sunlight, snow or beach scenes is recommended. Reset the
ASA Film Speed Index Setting Ring according to filter factor, unless
you are using one of the models that have the Exposure sensor
within the lens mount. e.g. MG-1, GL. For night photography,
WITHOUT FLASH, set the Exposure Control Ring at the AUTO
position and the Aperture Ring at the INDOORS (window) symbol. In
all cases, the shutter speed will be determined and set
AUTOMATICALLY. However, when shooting with the YELLOW arrow
on, use a tripod.
