EE Lock Lever Pushed

FILMING WITH LIGHT BEHIND YOUR

SUBJECT (AND OTHER UNUSUAL

LIGHTING SITUATIONS)

If there is light, such as the sun, a lamp or

a window, behind your subject, your sub

ject may turn out too dark in the film. This

can be corrected with the EE lock le

ver

1. Move close to your subject so that it

fills the viewfinder.

2. Press the shutter trigger HALFWAY to

meter the exposure, then push the EE

lock lever © up and hold it there. This

locks the exposure reading for your

subject.

3. Now move back and compose the pic

ture as you wish.

While still holding the EE lock lever up,

start filming.

You must hold the EE lock lever up

for as long as you are filming your

backlit subject. As soon as you let go of

the lever, the exposure is unlocked and

the camera meters as usual.

Notes

1. If you cannot approach your subject,

either zoom (pp. 16—17) up on it so

that it fills the viewfinder or use a

substitute subject, which has the same

brightness as your main subject, for

step one above.
