Shutter and Aperture Adjustment
The shutter and aperture adjust the exposure with the shutter adjusting the exposure time and the aperture ad lusting the amount of light.
The Canon PELLIX QL uses the zero-method coupled meter, and it is very simple to get the proper exposure.
Shutter Speed Dial
By revolving the dial, it is possible to adjust the speed by turning it to the necessary index number. The index on the dial shows the
denominators of 1/1000 sec., 1/15 sec., etc.
è The shutter speed dial does not revolve between the indexes "X" and "B".
è Set the index at the position where the click stop catches.
è "B" means bulb exposure. The shutter, which remains open during the pressing of the shutter button, is employed when making
exposures of more than one second.
In case of " B" index, adjust it to the white dot just below the " B" index.
è When it is necessary to make a n exposure over an extended time, first set it at " B ". Keep the shutter button pressed, turn the time
lock lever to indicator " L". In this case, even if the finger is removed, the exposure continues. When the lever is returned to "A", the
shutter closes.
è Time exposure is possible also by using the lock-attached cable release.
è The "X" index is used for synchronizing a speedlight. Although the shutter speed at "X" is 1/60 sec., actually it is equivalent to a
very short exposure during the flash time of the speed light.
Lens Aperture
The adjustment of the quantity of light and depth-of-field are made by turning the pre-set aperture ring to adjust the desired F stop to the
index.
è As the numerical value of the F stop gets larger, the amount of light reaching the film becomes correspondingly less. For each F stop
the light is reduced one-half. Accordingly, when the aperture is increased by one index point, the exposure is doubled, and when it is
increased by two index points the exposure is quadrupled.
