| Correct exposure The PRAKTICA super TL 1000 has got the automatic exposure control based on the TTL metering system working with beam splitter, light concentrator, and photoelectric cell. Only such light is metered which necessarily contributes to the composition of your picture. This is of importance for additional lenses (because the image angle equals the metering angle). And also factors which result from the use of extension lengthening accessories and filters are automatically taken into consideration by this exposure control. For metering you just depress the metering key, conveniently arranged near the shutter release, and observe the meter needle in the finder image (where plus and minus marks warn for over and under exposures). As soon as the needle has come to rest on the fixed mark, diaphragm numeral and shutter speed have been brought into proper relation for exposure. |
