Points to be remembered in automatic photography
(1) Make sure both A's of the shutter speed
and F,/stop rings are in line with the center
index. With either A off the center, the
automatic exposure is impossible.
(21 When the needle enters the yellow zone of
light window in the viewf inder the shutter
speed slows down to 1/15 - 1/3O sec.
So, special care is necessary not to shake
the camera while the shutter is released.
(3) ln case the needle enters the red zone,
the shutter can be released, but the image
may be too bright for correct exposure.
