Operation Manual

Autoreflex T together with a lens mount adapter.
Exposure Determination
The aperture scale visible in the viewfinder is not usable for the stopped-down metering system. Turn either
the aperture ring or the shutter speed dial and align the Meter Needle (45) with the Index Point for Stopped-
down Metering (41) situated at the reading "f/ 1.4" to secure a correct exposure.
If the combination of aperture and shutter speed is improper, the needle win not come in alignment with the
index mark. Pictures win be under-exposed when the needle is situated above the index mark and R will be
over-exposed when it is located under the mark. Here, make an adjustment either with aperture or shutter
speed.
· In the stopped-down metering system, the eyepiece tends to be affected by adverse light than in the system
in which light is measured at the full lens opening. Determine the exposure while your eye is put as close to
the eyepiece as possible. The needle swings in a very slow pace. Take a picture after it has been ascertained
that the needle is aligned with the index mark.

· In the event that a manually preset aperture lens is to be used on your camera, set the preset aperture ring to
the reading of the smallest lens aperture in advance and then turn the aperture ring. This action will make
easier the manipulation.
· Microphotogrphic pictures are also taken under the stopped-down metering system. Make an adjustment
either with shutter speed or according to the brightness of the light source since no aperture is available.
