For time exposures turn the shutter ring (p) until the required aperture is opposite the setting mark
(q) on the green scale for time exposures. The automatic control is now disengaged. The shutter
remains open for as long as you keep the release button pressed. You are thus able to expose your
pictures as long as you want.
For time exposures the camera should be mounted on a tripod. A cable release - which screws
into the socket (r) - should also be used.
Close-ups between 3 and 8 feet
When taking pictures of subjects closer
than 8 feet you must watch for parallax
error. This is caused by the viewfinder
being about an inch or so above the
camera lens, so that at close distances
the viewfinder will not show exactly
what will appear on the film. To
indicate the amount of parallax error at
3 feet, the "bright line" of the finder has
a small mark on each side near the top.
You must imagine a line running across
the finder joining these two marks (the
broken line in the illustration), and keep
the top of your subject below it. Of
course there will be a little more of the
subject included at the bottom of the
picture to compensate for the loss at the
top. With subjects farther away than 3
feet the error decreases, and beyond 8
feet you don't need to worry at all.
