FIIM EXPOSUREINDEX
Note: when you purchose film, whethei it is bloik ond
white or color film, the film e.xposure index of the film is
olwoys cleorly specified on the box or in the enclosed in'
struciions. For exomple, for the commonly colled X film the
exposure index is 50, for XX 100 ond 200 for XXX' As
the film exposure index becomes foster you must use o
corresponding lower exposure (Shutter ond f stop). There-
fore, to moke proper exposures it is importont thot you
olwoys keep in mind the type of film you hove in your
comero (The exPosure inc'.:x).

Unlooding is done, under subdued !ight, in rcversc c:Ccr

of looding film. After the roll hos been token cut thc roll
is seoled tightly with toPe. Fold the tip of the poper
strip inword ond then tope the seol over it. This rvill
moke the film more convenient to hondle in the dcrkroom.
And, it is qlso sofer to olwoys wrop the exposed film with
light-proof poper such os tin foil.

fn the reflected light type the rule is io meosure light

But, when photogrophing people ogoinst o bright
bockground, /oU should get close .enough to the
subiecl so you con obtoin o true reoding of only the
refiected light f rom the subiect.

Also, when photogrophing o distont view, such or ex-

ponsive scenery, if your comero is tilting upword too
high it will meosure the light from the sky ond the
more importcnt trees or buildings will become under-
exposed. So, nieosure by tilting the comero slightly
downword loword the ground. When photogrophing
into o light source be coreful not to ollow direct lighr

This is lermed EXPOSURE. We hove olreody exploined the greot
imporlonce of proper expoJure. ln lhe posl, il wo3 nece3sory
to sel the shuller speed ond f stop seporofely. However, o
light volue expresses with one number the necessqry relotionship
between fhe shuller speed ond f stop for correct expo3ure under

Todoy, lo determine proper exposure, oll thot is required is io {
lronsfer rhis light volue to ihe Exposure Window. I

The odoption of the world's newest light volue system on the

RICOHMATIC 225 hos mode correct exposure on immensely
simplified procedure. {
Furthurmore, on the RICOHMATIC 225, moximum versoiility is
ossured with o BUILT-IN Exposure Meter. The ronge of the light
volue scole on the RICOHMATIC 225 is from four to eighteen
with exposure becoming double for eoch decreose in number.
The Seikosho SLV exposure scole is colibroted in multiple series

The coupled oction of the exposure lime ond the f,'rtop givcr

As illustrotedlnthe Depth-of-field Toble .on
