New Camera Has
Automatic
Light Exposure
As any camera enthusiast can
vouch, probably the most impor
tant technique in the taking of
good pictures—and the most dif
ficult to master—is the determin
ation of light exposure time.
A new camera developed by the
U.S. aircraft industry could make
all shutterbugs “expert," except
for the fact that the accessory to
make it practical, a half million
dollar fighter plane, runs a little
high for the hobbyist.
According to rbAlN kb, otuciai
publication of the Aircraft Indus
tries Association, the newly de
veloped camera is capable of auto
matically adjusting itself to vary
ing light conditions much like the
human eye to control the amount
of light reaching the film.
A miniature computer inside
the camera determines the length,
of exposure needed in relation to
the amount of sunlight hitting the
shutter. This results in the auto
matic adjustment of the camera
lens.
These automatic lens adjust
ments, PLANES says, can be
made through the seven lens
openings—f 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16
and 22—to an accuracy of within
one-half stop in just 1.8 seconds.
The four kings pictured on
playing cards are David, Alexan
der, Caesar and Charlemagne.
