Selection of Required kns and Shutter Speed
Opening
Even after the basic exposure value has been set, and if smallerapertures or higher shutter speedsare desired, the requ ired aperture o pening or shutter speed can be set by turning the Cross Coupling Ring, and set it to the red triangular mark. For example,as shownleft, assuming the LVS reading from the meter is 9, and when the f igure I is set opposite the red triangle, the basic exposure will be t 15.6with 1 l15 sec. shutterspeed.In the above-mentioned way, the correct exposuresettingsin various combinations, within a zone partitioned by lines, wil I be made in relation to the basic exposure combination.
