Noblex PANOLUX 135 Manual
    |
The PANOLUX 135The PANOLUX is an exposure metering and control modulewhich you can purchase in addition to your NOBLEX. ThePANOLUX automatically controls the exposure time of yourcamera. There are two measuring methods for this: reflectivemetering (light metering in direction of the subject), andmetering of incident light. The incident light metering offerstwo different methods of measuring: pure metering of inci-dent light (metering of the light falling on the subject and/orthe white diffuser independent of the reflection qualities ofthe subject) and subject-oriented metering of incident light(simultaneous reading with the front detector cell and thediffuser which means that the reflections of the subject aretaken into consideration). When working in reflectivemetering or subject-oriented metering of incident light it isalso possible to enter correction factors into the PANOLUXwhich influence the drum rotation speed during the exposureprocess. According to the correction factor set on thePANOLUX, the lens drum moves slower or faster in thecorresponding parts of the exposure and different exposuretimes are produced during one drum rotation. Typically, aslower rotation will‚ brighten‘ that area. Conversely, a fasterrotation will‚ darken‘ that portion of the photograph.9. Designation of Parts and Operating Elements10. Inserting the BatteriesThe PANOLUX requires 2 batteries LR 1, 1.5V. To insertthe batteries please follow these instructions:(1) Open the battery compartment cover (813) bysliding the cover in the direction of the arrow.(2) Insert the batteries. Pay attention to the rightpolarity.(3) Close the battery compartment cover (813) bysliding it against the arrow marking.Please noteNever use batteries of different types and do not mix oldbatteries with new ones. Do not use rechargable batteries.If you do not use your PANOLUX for an extended time,remove the batteries.11. Getting PANOLUX and NOBLEX started(1) Slide the PANOLUX onto the accessory shoe (13)on the NOBLEX viewfinder from the back.(2) Turn the shutter speed setting knob (2) of yourcamera to “A”.(3) Turn the camera on at the ON/OFF switch (10).(4) Turn the PANOLUX on by chosing the measuringmode (801) desired.Please noteWhenever you do not use the PANOLUX take if off thecamera and switch it off.When taking photographs and the shutter speed settingknob (2) is not in the “A” mode, the camera works with theexposure time set at the shutter speed setting knob. If youdo not use your PANOLUX, the PANOLUX switches itselfoff after approx. 5min. Switch the PANOLUX off andafterwards to the measuring method desired. The PANOLUXis now active again.12. PANOLUX in Reflected Mode (811)Reflective reading is carried out by the front detector cell(808). The PANOLUX measures the light reflected from yoursubject. To avoid an overweighting of the bright sky portion,the measuring axis of the front detector cell (808) is anlgeddown by approx. 15°. When normally holding the camera,an area approx. 18 feet in front of the camera is measured.The measuring anlge is approx. 33°.When applying reflected light metering for taking picturesplease follow these instructions:PANOLUX 135801 - measuring mode802 - button "k"803 - button "MEM"804 - button "ISO"805 - button "+/-"807 - white diffuser808 - front detector cell813 - battery compartment cover802801804803805813808 807- 1 - |
