Hi all,
I have a query regarding the AutoB function on my super-8 Nizo. I planned to do a bit of experimenting, but insights before I start would be great to save on time and money where possible.
First off, I’m new to all this so please forgive me if some of my questions are daft!
The first thing I don’t get is: AutoB is designed to automatically work out the correct exposure time right? But isn’t that what the simple auto / manual exposure knob allows you to do?
Next, should you always lock the red lever to the half mark when using AutoB? Is there any application where you might want to be on AutoB but keep the red lever fully open? (I guess there are instances where you’d want to do this, otherwise why would the function be split into two actions on the camera?)
3) I’ve heard that AutoB is great to use with daylight stock at night, if you want to create traces (eg, ghostly figures walking past buildings, or the famous streaking car lights) – is this correct?
Lastly, any other general comments on AutoB would be very well received.
Thanks all,
Mark
