Shutter speeds on fhe Olympus Ace-E hove been perfected
so thof eoch speed shown on the diol is equivolent to o
complete f/stop. For exomple, 11125 of o second is
exoctly 112 ot I l25O second. l/15 is 1 12 of l/30, which
is 112 of l/60, etc. Eoch f/stop is equivoleni to the qgme
geometric rotio.
To use Strobo light :
Set the synchro lever ot X, ond the electrdiic flosh syn-
chronized ot oll speeds.
To use f he Self-Timer, set the lever ot V. 8 seconds lopse
before shutter opening ollows you to get " into the
picture " yourself. Alwoys set the synchro lever beforeTo use o Type M bulb, set
lhe synchro tever ot M, cocking the shutter. Cock the shutter before moking on
ond the flosh is synchro- exposure, not qfter the previous exposure.

ond not to the lens opening. Proper exposure will be
hod when the correct lens opening ond shutter speed
ore determined.
o. lf the shutter speed is selected first, oim the

lens opening figure on the exposure meter diol
ot the point where the needle motches the lens
opening figure. lf the meter needle indicotes no
corresponding figure on ihe exposure meter diol,
you must lhen select cnother shutter speed ot
which the exposure meter needle will motch the
lens opening figure.

Between the focusing ring ond shutter speed diol on the Normol ond Wide Angle Lenses, ond between the focusing ring ond f/stop diol on the Telephoto Lens is foupd the DEPTH OF FIELD SCALE. On the scole ore 2 sets of identicol numbers, referring to the f/stop being used. These numbers hove engroved lines pointing to the focus- ing ring. lf you ore using f f 11, for exomple, follow the lines thot go from the 2 " I I's." Whotever oppeors between these 2 lines on the focusing ring will be in shorp cleor focus. lf you ore using f/8, simply follow the lines from the 2 "8's" thot go to the focusing ring. Shorter focol length lenses give greoter depth of field. The forther owoy you ore focused, the greoter the depth of field. The smoller the f/stop, the greot4 the depth of field. Therefore, if you require o lorger oreo of the subiect to be obsolutely shorp, use o smoller f/stop. (The smoller the f/stop, the lorger the f/number.)
