Quarz Question

Post by tom* »

I have had a Quarz camera for a while without using it and intend to take it to some of the summer's music festivals as it requires no power and seems fairly rugged. I have heard that it is set for 50asa and was wondering how to shoot K40 succesfully with it? Also, as I don't have time to experiment with it in advance, does anyone have anyone have any other tips for using this in the (a) field?

Cheers & apologies if this is covered elsewhere (I have looked though!), if this is the case could someone point me in the right direction?

Regards
Tom

Set the auto to +1 for K40, making sure the filter is in place.

Set at wide aangle to avoid quick shots being out of focus.

Keep the shoots short, say 5 seconds with 10 seconds max.

Wind up after every shot.

Take a portable audio recorder for wild background sound

Check out the manual settings for a range of conditions. Or take a Selinium no battery light meter with you. Shutter is 1/30 for all practical purposes.

For telephoto settings use a monopod or tripod

Have Fun

DO NOT FORGET THAT IT IS NOT AUTOMATIC FOCUSSING
