3. Framing the picture.
The area inside the bright frame is the area re.
corded on the film. However,parallaxerror is un.
avoidablewhen shootingat a close distance (1 me-
ter or less).
In this case,therefore,composeyour picturewithin
the parallaxcorrectionmarks.
4. Ghecking the exposure.
   A. When the meter needle is in the correct ex-
     posure indicatingwindow, it means that it is
     possibleto shoot with EE exposure. So, com-
     pose your picture and press the shutter but-
      ton.
   B. When the meter needle is inside one of the
     warning marks on both sides,it means that
      the shutter speed is either too fast or too
     slow for that subject under that certain light-

C. When even after the shutter ring is turned all

     r  . . . the meter needle remains inside the
     flash mark, it meansthat  it is too dark.
    You must, therefore,switch over to flash
    photography.
     r  . . . the meter needle remains inside the
    over exposurewarning mark, it means that
        it is too bright. In this case, use ND4 or
   ND8 neutral density filter.
     r  lt is very convenient if the shutter speed
      is set to the index mark beforehand,such
    as 25O for very bright, L25 tor clear, 6O for
    cloudy and 30 for indoorsor rainy weather.
     r The figures above the correct exposure in-

          r The sh utter button can be pressed even
      when the meter needle is insidethe warn-
        ing marks.
       However,correct exposure cannot be ob-
       tained in this case.
Pressingthe Shutter Button
The shutter button must be pressedgently in order
to obtain a clear unblurredpicture.
 r After the shutter is releasedand simultaneously
  with the return of the sh utter button to its former
  position,the spring motor automaticallywinds
  the film by one frame and cocks the shutter for
  the next shot.
