快門速度:

當使用感光度先決模式的時候,相機進入自動模式,快門速度為兩段式:1/30 或 1/250秒,從1973年4月以後上市的 Pen EE-2,就改為 1/40 或 1/200 秒,那就是說,相機會自己決定使用兩個快門速度中的其中一個。

當使用光圈先決模式的時候,相機進入手動模式,快門速度為兩段式:1/30 秒,從1973年4月以後上市的 Pen EE-2,就改為 1/40 秒。

Sensitivity range is from 25 to 400. The shutter operated at either 1/40 or 1/200. When the film speed is selected, the camera entered auto mode, the selenium meter sets the f-stop automatically and the shutter speed is programmed to be 1/40 or 1/200.

The shutter speed is set to be 1/40 when switched to the aperture settings side. Though the ring write "for Flash", the shutter will open with or without a flash.

The filter size is said to be 43.5 mm but actually 43 mm lens cap can also be used as what I have bought.

Models were available in black leatherette, grey leatherette, and a gold commemorative model was  made.

I got 78 shots from a roll which supposed to take 36 frames of full frame 135 format photos.



Ken Rockwell has a very good explanation of flash usage:

My first test roll on EE-2, film is Reala 100, many are under-exposed, I should have turned the ISO speed to 80 or even slower when facing the sky and sun:
