Basic Operation
Camera shake
Camera shake is likely to occur when the camera is not held steadily and/or when
using a slow shutter speed. In general, you should set the shutter speed faster than
‘1/focal length of your lens sec. (Example: when using a 50mm lens, set the shutter
speed faster than 1/50 sec.) Use of a tripod or VR lens is recommended for shooting
at slower shutter speeds.
Composing frame
The F6’s viewfinder frame shows approximately 100% of the image actually exposed
on the film frame. Please be aware that most processing labs partially crop the edges
of film.
