5. When set for reflected light (spot metering)
• This method measures the brightness (luminance) of the light reflected from the subject. It is
useful for distant objects such as landscapes, when you cannot go to the position of the
subject, or for metering subjects that generate light (neon signs, etc.), highly reflective
surfaces or translucent subjects (stained glass, etc.).
• The spot metering area can be selected by turning the
Zoom Lens ring 16 while looking through the
viewfinder from the camera position.
• Take the measurement by aligning the circle inside
the viewfinder with the subject area to be measured.
CAUTION:
•
Do not look directly at the sun through the viewfinder, to prevent eye injury.
NOTE:
•Do not attempt to take a direct meter reading off the sun, because it may cause damage
to the photo cell.
•If bright light enters through the eyepiece, an accurate exposure cannot be obtained, so
place your eye as close to the eyepiece as possible.
•
For correct exposure take measurements of objects beyond 1 meter (3.3 feet).
Reference:
•If the reading will not stabilize because your hands are shaking when taking
measurements, we recommend you place the meter on a tripod.
•If you cannot clearly see the spot circle in the finder, we recommend you select a
Diopter correction lens suited to your own eyesight. (see page 25)
1. Measuring ambient light
In this measurement mode, we have the choice of shutter priority mode, aperture priority mode and
EV mode. Hold down the Mode set button 10 and turn the Set/chanpe dial 5 to select ambient
1-1 Shutter Speed Priority mode
1. Hold down the Mode set button 10 and turn the
Set/change dial to select shutter Speed Priority
mode.
2. Turn the Set/change dial to set the desired shutter
speed.
3. Press the Measuring button 19 to make a
measurement. Release the Measuring button to
complete the measurement. The measured value
(aperture value) at that time will be displayed.
While pressing the Measuring button, the meter
measures continuously until it is released.
• You can set shutter speeds from 30 minutes to 1/8000 seconds. After 1/8000 the shutter
speeds of 1/200 and 1/400 can be set.
• By moving the DIP switch Time 0.5 up or down (see page 8), the shutter speed can
be set in 1.0 or 0.5 (full or half) steps.
• "E.u" (Exposure under) or "E.o" (Exposure over) appears when the combination of
shutter speed and aperture is not possible for the measured light level. Changing the
shutter speed and or aperture with the Set/change dial will allow you to find a
combination that is possible.
• If the "E.u" or "E.o" readout blinks, this indicates that the light level is beyond the
measurement range of the light meter.
1-2 Aperture Priority mode
Open the Battery compartment cover 20 and slide the F No.
DIP switch (see page 8) to the ON position.
1. Hold down the Mode set button and turn the Set/
change dial to select aperture priority mode.
2. Turn the Set/change dial to set the desired f stop
value.
