the moment of exposure.
· When the magnetic release is depressed, the LED dot will come
on momentarily to display the shutter speed at which exposure is
being made.
· Correct exposure can be obtained through various combination of
the lens aperture and shutter speed. Depending on the subject
condition, therefore, alter the aperture setting to provide exposure at
the right shutter speed.
· For best results, shoot your subject with the sun behind your
shoulder
16-DOT LED SHUTTER SPEED DISPLAY
The shutter speed display incorporated in the viewfinder of the CONTAX RTS consists of a 16-dot LED (light
emitting diode) array. The LED dot comes on immediately upon depression of the LED display pushbutton to
display the shutter speed set in relation with the preselected lens aperture. This shutter speed display is unique in the
fact that it can be turned on regardless of whether the film has been advanced or not. As explained in the foregoing
pages, one LED dot indicates automatic setting of the shutter speed corresponding to the figure in alignment, while
two LED dots signify in-between speed.
Under fluorescent light, more than two LED dots may sometimes come on at the same time. Although it is not
perceptible to the human eye, there is a rapid fluctuation of the light intensity emitted by a fluorescent lamp and,
because of the extremely high speed of response of the light sensor and the display, this variation of the light
intensity is picked up, thus resulting in flickering of the LED dots which appears to our eyes as simultaneous
lighting of three or more dots. This phenomenon does not, however, signify a malfunction. When the shutter is
released, correct exposure will be made at the optimum shutter speed.
