SEVEN BASIC STEPS m
TO PLEASURABLE z.
AEC* SHOOTING @
>
cn
1. Insert the two 1.3 Volt Inercury batteries supplied with
-
your camera into chamber at bottom of camera to power o
the CdS meter. Turn switch to "on" position (red dot)
when shooting pictures. 3
m
'9
2. Load camera. Here "Insta$rip" take-up spool makes for o
sure, fumble-free operation.

3. Set ASA rating of your film in window on the top of the

shutter speed dial, by lifting and turning outer ring.

4. Make certain that lens is set at "EE" for effortless, correct

shooting, when automatic exposure is desired.

5. Select desired shutter speed. For most outdoor 'shots,

llI25 is recommended.
6. Focus and compose picture in finder. The bright image is
easy to focus, especially in the Micro Diaprism area,
where images snap in and out of focus smartly.

7. Shoot the pictures, as long as the needle in the right

margin of the finder is in a white area.

*AEC describes the optional total Automatic Exposure Control of the

KONICA
AUTOREFLEX-T which permits (l) Full use of wide open automatic aperture
lenses, (2) automaticallyselects and sets proper aperture at instant of exposure,
(3) automatically reopens aperture, and (4) provides Instant Return Mirror

In photomicrography the Meter Needle is brought to the

When using Hexanon reflex mirror optics lenses, the Meter
Needle is brought to the index by bringing the appropriate
neutral density filter into place, or by adjusting the shutter
speed. These lenses do not have an iris diaphragm.

When stopping a lens down for closeups, keep your eye

against the Viewfinder eyepiece to protect the latter from the

Conversely, with a small dark subject against a large light background, the meter
may read the entire area as a light subject and underexpose the main subject. In
this case, a close-up reading as described under "Against-the-Light Shots" can be
found helpful.

in backlighted situations, do not forget to reset your meter to the normal rating

Micro Diaprism area
when the image is out of focus
The ultra brilliant focusing screen of the KONICA Auto- -
reflex-T helps you make superbly detailed negatives easily,
even when working under difficult lighting conditions. To
facilitate matters there are three separate focusing areas to
choose - the center Micro Diaprism spot (49), the fine
ground glass ring surrounding this (50) and the balance of
the Viewfinder which is a fine fresnel ground glas.
The Micro Diaprism consist of thousands of tiny prismatic
elements. When the image is out of focus, the Micro
Diaprism spot shows a distinct pattern. This clears up
instantaneously the moment sharp focus has been attained.
The plain ground glass is useful for subjects that create a
moire pattem, such as cloth and other regularly patterned
subjects, when focused in the Micro Diaprism area. The

 TAKE ADVANTAGE OF DEPTH-OF.FIELD

Depth-of-Field is the distance between the nearest and Depth-of-Field for f/ 16

farthest objects in the scene that will be sharp in the finished
picture. In practical terms this means that when you bring an for f 14
object into sharp focus, objects behind and in front of this
will be rendered more or less sharp too, depending on a series
of factors. For more Depth-of-Field, use a small f/stop (larger
f/number) and make the irna$e of the nain object snuller by:
.(a) moving the camera further away or (b) switching to a
shorter focal length lens without changing camera distance.
For less Depth-of-Field, use a larger f/stop (smaller f/number)
