AND LENS OPENING

can stand

for

several

combinations

of

shutter

speeds and lens

openings

, all

giving

the

same

exposure.

For

at

EV

14

you

have a

choice

of

eight

combinations

ranging

from

1/500

sec.

at

f/5

to

1

/2

sec.

at

f/90.

If

you

ring, you

can

turn

them

together

to

anyone

of

the

eight

combinations

. Which is

the

best one

to

use?

In general.

you

should use as small an

aperture

as possible

in

any

given situa-

tion, while

some

other

parts in

also be in

The

For

most

people,

1/125

sec. is a safe

speed;

some

can use

without

shaking

the

camera.

At

most

people will shake

the

they

themselves

carefully.

At

practically

everything
