AEC: AUTOMATIC EXPOSURE CONTROL PHOTOGRAPHY
(Light Metering at Full Lens Opening)
This method is commonly used when pictures are taken
under the AEC system with an AR lens having the AE mark.
1. Set Your Camera to AE Mark.
Turn the Aperture Ring (12) and
bring the AE Mark (4) in line with
the index point. The AE lock will
click into position.
2. Determine Shutter Speed.
Turn the Shutter Speed Dial (20),
select a reading on the Shutter
Speed Scale (19) suitable for your
subject and bring it in line with the
index mark. In normal circum-
stances, it is convenient to set the
shutter speed to 1/125 sec. for
outdoor shooting and 1/30 sec. for
indoor picture-taking.
3. Look Through Viewfinder.
Train your camera at the subject,
look through the viewfinder, focus
the lens, frame your subject and
look at the Meter Needle (49) in
the viewfinder. If the meter needle
is not aligned with the upper or
lower red mark (exposure limit
mark), You will always be able to
secure correct exposure.
