EV RANGE OF THE CAMERA
What is EV?
Exposure value (EV) is a number representing the available
combinations of shutter speed and aperture that give the same
exposure effect when the scene brightness and ASA/ISO
remain the same.
At ASA/ISO 100, the combination of a one-second shutter
speed and an aperture of f/1 4 is defined as EV 1. If the
aperture is stopped down by one full f/stop or the shutter' speed
is one step faster. the EV increases by one; if the aperture is
opened up by one full f/stop or the shutter speed is one
step slower, EV decreases by one Using ASA/ISO 100 as an
example, 1 sec. at f/2 represents EV 2,1 sec. at f/5.6 represents
EV 5, while 1/125sec. at f/5.6 represents EV 12. As the
exposure is the same.1/30sec. at f/11 and 1/1000sec. at f/2 are
also EV 12.
EV Chart
The Nikon FA's meter can only be used within the meter's EV
range. The chart shows the relationship between the shutter
speed, f/stop, and film speed Careful attention to this chart will
assure precise exposure, automatically, over the entire usable
range of the FA Depending on film speed, EV range determines
the following: in the P mode, the usable combinations of
aperture and shutter speed, in the S mode, the usable apertures
to match the shutter speed set on the dial: and in the A mode,
the possible shutter speeds to match the aperture set on the
lens. With ASA/ISO 100 film and a 50mm f/1 4 lens, the usable
EV range is 1 to 20 As you can see from the chart, any shutter
speed from 1 to 1/4000sec. can be used within this range
However, when using ASA/ISO 200 film, the EV range is
reduced to 2 to 20, whereas with ASA/ISO 400 film, it becomes
3 to 20. Therefore, with ASA/ISO 200 film, the slowest usable
shutter speed is 1/2sec., whereas 1/4sec. is the slowest speed
usable with ASA/ISO 400 film. This information is reflected in the
LCD inside the camera's viewfinder. For example, with ASA/ISO
200, if you set the mode selector to P or A,1 will never appear,
but as the light gets dim, Lo appears immediately after 2
Likewise, with ASA/ISO 200 in the S mode, if you set 1 sec. on
the shutter speed dial, 1 will not appear, but in its place either a
faster shutter speed is displayed (if the shutter speed is shifted
to a higher one when the scene is bright) or Lo appears (when
the scene is too dark). With ASA/ISO 400 film, 1 and 2 never
appear, indicating that 1 and 112sec. are unusable shutter
speeds.
