ABOUT
THE
EXPOSURE
CONTROL
With the selector ring
at
DA
YLJGHT,
the photoelectric meter
of
the exposure
control measures the over-all brightness
of
the light reflected
by
the subject.
Better results, especially with color films, are obtained when using flat
or
moder-
ate side lighting with the principal illumination coming over your shoulder when
taking the picture.
Scenes
lacking
great
subject contrast:
that
is, when the differences
in
brightness be-
tween the dark
and
the bright areas are moderate,
or
when very bright
and
dark areas
are
of
about
the same size, but
of
equal picture interest, use the automatic exposure con-
trol
without modification- as described previously. Most pictures fall into this grouping.
Scenes
with
considerable
subject contrast: for example, a person with light-colored
clothing against a
dark
background.
A better exposed picture
of
the person may
be
obtained
by
making a "close-up"
reading.
Move close to the subject so
that
the person fills the finder. Press down the shutter re-
lease until a slight resistance
is
felt-
about
%
of
the way (not far enough to release shut-
20
ter); continue to hold the release
in
this position to maintain the exposure setting, then
