Shutter Speed Selection
The Vivitar XC-2has a shutter speed range of 4 seconds to
1/1000 second, plus "8" (Bulb) for Time Exposures and a
"M" (Manual    1/50 second) setting, which can be usedin the event of-battery failure. To set the shutter speed, turn
the Shutter Speed Dial until the desired shutter speed
is aligned with the Shutter Speed Index O on the camera
body. When using shutter speeds below 1/30 of a second,
it is advisable to use a tripod and cable rerease to eliminate
the possibility of vibration due to camera movement. The
Vivitar XC-z is equipped with a Threaded Cabte Release
                                  jor use with theseSocket @ and Tripod Socket (sd

Time Exposures
When making time exposure photographs, your camera
should alwayl be tripod-mounted and used with a locking
cable release. The Vivitar XC's electronic shutter will
auto.matically control time exposures of up to 4 seconds.
For time exposures of over 4 seconds in duration:
1    Align "B" setting on Shutter Speed Dial with the
Shutter-    Speed Index.
2   Advance   f ilm and press in on tip of cable release to
open-   the shutter. Turn cable release lock to hold shutter
open.

 Holding the Camera
 Photos "B" and "c" illustrate the correct ways to hold the
 camera for either horizontal or vertical format photographs.

 Focusing the Camera
 The Vivitar XC-2's focusing screen includes a central,
 horizontal split-image rangefinder, which is surrounded
 by a microprism collar (see photo "D"). To focus accurately:

Setting the Lens Aperture
The standard lens supplied *itn yor@
automatic, allowing you to focus and compose at full
aperture for maximum viewfinder brightness. As the shutter
Release Button is pressed to make your exposure, the
lens automatically stops down to whatever f-stop you have
selected. In order to use this feature, the Auto/Manual
Switch @ must be in the upward "A" position, covering
the red "M" (Manual) marking
The Aperture Ring @ anO shutter controlthe amount of
light reaching the film during an exposure. At a given
shutter speed setting, turning the Aperture Ring from
the smallest number to the largest cuts the amount of
light at each marked f-stop by one-half     .
The aperture setting also determines the near and far areas
in which items other than your key subject will remain
                                                                                q

acceptably sharp. This "zone of focus" is www.butkus.usreferred to as
Depth of Field Your lens features a Depth of Field Scale (@   ,
which allows you to select the zone of focus which will
appear in the final photograph. Under normal lighting
conditions, selecting a larger aperture opening (eg: f2.B
orf4) will allow you to keep your key subject in sharp
focus while eliminating distracting elements in the
foreground or background of your photograph. Under the
same conditions, selecting a smaller aperture opening
(eg:  f '1 1 or  f 16) will allow you to maintain sharp focus
on both near and distant objects. (See Photos "E" & "F").
Exposure Balance System
Your Vivitar XC-2 incorporates an electronically controlled
Exposure Balance System, which is automatically program-
med when you set the ASA Dial for the proper rating of the
film you are using. The electronic Exposure Balance System
(null meter function) responds immediately and precisely to
the slightest change in subject lighting or shutter speed/
aperture control settings Three LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes)
are positioned above the viewf inder to display under, over
or correct exposure conditions.
Viewfinder Display
The Exposure Balance System LED Display is positioned
above the viewfinder, where it is readily visible (see
photo "D"). To activate the Exposure Balance System
LED Display:
1 -  Wind the Film Advance Lever.2   Move the Shutter Release Lock Lever to the "A" posi  -3-  Depress Shutter Release Button halfway.
ln addition to providing exposure information, the LED
Display is programmed to function as a Battery Check.
 lf the LED Display does not illuminate,  it indicates that
a) the Shutter Speed Dial is at the mechanical "B'  ' or "M"
setting or b) there is insuff icient battery power remaining
to actuate the electronic shutter mechanism (should
this occur, the batteries should be replaced immediately).

When the Exposure Balance System LED Display is acti-
vated,  it will indicate one of the following conditions:
a/ Left (red)D LED indicates overexposure.
b/ Center (green) o LED indicates correct exposure.
             LED indicates underexposure.c/ Right (red) €
d) lf Left and Right LEDs illuminate simultaneously, the
shutter speed/aperture combination  is out of the exposure
system range.                      ITo set Exposure Balance System for a correct exposure:
1-  Focus carefully on your subject.
2 -  Depress the Shutter Release Button halfway.
a/  lf the left LED is illuminated, select a smaller aperture
opening and/or a faster shutter speed.
b/  lf the right LED is illuminated, select a larger aperture
opening and /or a slower shutter speed.
c/ lf Left and Right LEDs are simultaneously illuminated, the
shutter speed/aperture combination  is out of the exposure
system range (see Exposure Value Chart, page 66).
                                    www.butkus.us
Spot/Average Metering Systems
Your Vivitar XC-2 provides two separate through-the-lens
metering systems   one for "Spot" readings and one for"Average" readings.-
"Spot" Readings
When the Meter Switch @ is moved to the red "Sp"
setting, the metering system will read approximately 10%
of the image seen in the viewfinder. The area covered is
approximated by the -l symbol below the microprism
collar.
The "Spot" metering system should be used for obtaining
correct exposures whenever your key subject is illuminated
differently than the surrounding area (e.9., shaded subjects
with strong backlighting or brightly lit subjects against a
dark background). Position your key subiect within the
                                                                               7

"Average" Readings
When the Meter Switch @ is moved to the white "Av"
setting, the metering sysiem reads the "Average"
brightness of the entire image seen in the viewfinder'
The "Average" metering system used when all elements
of the scene being photographed are evenly illuminated.
Multiple Exposure Control
Your Vivitar xc-2 provides you with the creative option of
making multiple exposures on a single frame of film' To
use this option:
1   Wind the Film Advance Lever and make your firstexposure.-
2- Move the Multiple Exposure Control Lever @ in the
direction of the white arrow until it stops, wind the Film
Advance Lever to reset your shutter, and make your
second exposure.
The Multiple Exposure control Lever disengages the film
advance mechanism, allowing you to reset your shutter and
make multiple exposures without accidental film movement
and loss of frame registration'

Automatic Exposure Gontrol
 Your Vivitarxc-2 is designed for conversion to aperture-
 preferred automatic operation with the addition of the
 Vivitar xc-A'u Accessory. Requiring just seconds for attach-
 ment, the Vivitar XC-A couples direcily to the camera's
Exposure Balance System. ln use, the lens is set at the
desired aperture, the Film Advance Lever is wound, and the
Exposure Balance System is activated by depressing the
shutter Release Button halfway. operated by its own-, inde-
pendent power supply (a single, 6-volt silver oxide battery),
the Vivitar XC-A responds immediately to the Exposure
Balance System's command signal by setting the correct
shutter speed. As quickly as you can advance the film, focus
and release the shutter, the Vivitar XC-A will continue to
adjust and readjust for the correct Exposure Balance      allyou need to do is focus and shoot!                  -

Self Timer
The self-Timer Lever @ delays the tripping of the shutter
