Metering range is a range which the exposure meter a silicon blue cell can obtain a properly exposed image. The program applicable range is a range where the program combination of aperture and shutter is applicable. For example, using a 50 mm F1. The metering range varies according to film speed. After you have set the exposure mode selector to " A " and selected the desired aperture, the camera will automatically select the required stepless shutter speed from 8 sec.
The " A " mode is convenient for taking pictures at specific aperture settings based on your individual needs. The camera exposure setting may be affected if there is a big gap between brightness of a main subject and background.
This will result in under or over exposed pictures. In these cases, you should use the exposure adjustment system. You can also use the system when you wish to create a deliberate effect of over or under exposure. Be sure to return the exposure adjustment to "0" after use. Press the mode reset button to reset the exposure adjustment to "0". The adjusted value will not be displayed. Under normal circumstances, the CP-7m will produce perfectly exposed photographs, due to the integrated automatic exposure circuitry.
However, some lighting conditions might occur that could misguide the system, such as subjects with a very high contrast or strongly backlit scenes. In such cases, the AE lock exposure memory system should be used. Set the exposure mode selector in the " A " position Fig. If necessary, approach the subject and use the tele-photo seeing when using zoom lenses.
While pressing the shutter release button halfway, press the AE lock button Fig. The exposure shutter speed will be memorized as long as the AE lock button is pressed. Focus and compose the subject in the viewfinder as you desire then press the shutter release button all the way to take the photograph.
The CP-7m is equipped with an unlimited multiple exposure provision. Slide the multiple exposure switch in the direction of the arrow Fig. The film counter frame on the data panel will blink for 12 seconds after the panel is activated by partial depression of the shutter release. Release the shutter to take the picture. The film will not advance and only the shutter will be charged; the film counter will not advance.
You can make unlimited multiple exposures on any single frame. Set the multiple exposure switch to the original OFF position after use. NOTE: After taking a picture, and if the multiple exposure switch is moved to the OFF position with the film counter frame blinking, film will be advanced to next frame.
After 12 seconds, the panel indicator will stop blinking. When shooting night scenes or long time exposure for more than 8 seconds duration, use " B " mode. The reflex mirror will shift to the open up position while the shutter release button is pressed. Use of a cable release and a tripod is recommended for stability to prevent vibration during exposures. Set the exposure mode selector in the " B " position Fig. Press the shutter release button all the way to start the bulb operation.
Elapsed exposure time is shown in the frame counter position in seconds up to 60 seconds, and in minute increments from 1 to up to 90 minutes. The CP-7m features a unique interval timer that can be set for intervals of up to an incredible 90 minutes. The smaller the lens opening, the greater the depth of field will become Fig. Depth of Field Scale:. The depth of field scale indicates after focusing the approximate area that will be sharp in the picture.
Nothing really that distinguishes it from other cameras of the time. But wait a minute! Sound of a car screeching to a halt What was that M. E button on the top plate to the left of the mode selection pad?
Perhaps this is the hidden gem that lifts this camera above its peers. The Multiple Exposure button. This is not new by any means. With most manual cameras you can accomplish this by holding the film rewind release and carefully wind the shutter on. But with the Chinon CP-7m, sliding the M. E button upwards, the camera disengages the wind on mechanism allowing you to take as many images as you want on a single frame of film. Of course your on your own with regards to working out exposure but think of the creative possibilities.
I have to try this! What does the camera sound like? Click the image below which will take you to a video on my flickr account. While reviewing the results from my double exposure fest a thought occurred to M.
This camera could be my go to camera for when I want to do some multiple exposures. It makes it so much easier to do. You are commenting using your WordPress. Log in or register to remove ads.
