www.butkus.org/chinon Shutter and Aperture Adjustment The shutter and aperture adjust the exposure with the shutter adjusting the exposure time and the aperture ad lusting the amount of light. The Canon PELLIX QL uses the zero-method coupled meter, and it is very simple to get the proper exposure. Shutter Speed Dial By revolving the dial, it is possible to adjust the speed by turning it to the necessary index number. The index on the dial shows the denominators of 1/1000 sec., 1/15 sec.,

www.butkus.org/chinon How to Use Built in Exposure Meter The exposure meter of the PELLIX QL, which is of the zero method type, is coupled to the shutter dial and aperture ring. The exact exposure is easily determined according to the brightness of the subject to be photographed. There are two ways of determining the exposure--either by first selecting the shutter speed or first selecting the F stop. Film Speed Setting Show the film speed of the film used in the small window.

www.butkus.org/chinon è Canon's TTLM system has been adopted in the PELLIX QL which provides the most accurate photometry. Under this system, the CdS photocell of the built-in meter is placed in the closest position to the film on the back side of the panicle mirror. è The rectangular frame on the outside of the prism screen within the viewfinder is the same size as the light receiving area of the CdS photocell. Place the center of the photographic subject within this frame and measure the
