Cosmorex SE Manual De Propietario

USING LONG EXPOSURE TIMES (

TIME EXPOSURES)

Time Exposures are exposures of one second or
longer. At these extra-long exposure times, you
can photograph city streets at night, dimly-lit
interiors, and many subjects too faintly
illuminated for normal picture-taking.
To take a time exposure with your Cosmorex, set
the Shutter Speed Dial (5) to "B", press the Shutter
Release Button (2) ... and simply hold it down until
the desired number of seconds has elapsed. When
you release the Shutter Button, the shutter will
close.
For extra steadiness, use of a locking Cable
Release and a sturdy Tripod are recommended
when taking time exposures.

the event a locking cable release is not

available, you can keep your camera's shutter
open for extended periods quite simply. With the
shutter at "B" position, press down the shutter
release firmly. Hold it down, and rotate the
Release Button (2) counter-clockwise (towards
the left) until it stops. Now, the shutter remains
open as long as desired. To close the shutter when
the exposure is completed, press down on the
Release Button and turn Release clockwise until
it stops.

After a time exposure using this method, always make
certain the Shutter Release Button (2) and Rewind
Release Ring (3) are both turned fully towards the
right: this will insure correct operation of shutter
and exposure counter in subsequent pictures.
