è Canon's TTLM system has been adopted in the PELLIX QL which provides the most accurate photometry. Under this system, the
CdS photocell of the built-in meter is placed in the closest position to the film on the back side of the panicle mirror.
è The rectangular frame on the outside of the prism screen within the viewfinder is the same size as the light receiving area of the CdS
photocell. Place the center of the photographic subject within this frame and measure the intensity of light. In this way the photographer
can decide the best exposure for his photographic needs. The TTLM system makes possible the measuring of exposures in counter-light
conditions.
è Measurement at "B" and "X" indexes of the shutter dial is not possible with the exposure meter because " B " is used for long
exposures over one second and " X " is used for speedlight.
Exposure Setting 2 -- F Stop Priority Method
1. Set the lens aperture at the desired F stop.
2. Face the camera towards the photographic subject, look into the viewfinder, and press the CdS actuating lever.
3. While pressing or locking the CdS actuating lever, turn the shutter dial.
4. Set the meter needle at the o index within the viewfinder for correct exposure.
è Intermediate positions on the shutter speed dial scale cannot be used, but since any aperture may be utilized, the shutter speed
should first be determined when strictly considering the exposure. It is most practical to adjust the aperture according to this.
è During the use of the meter, there are instances of the movement of the needle becoming slack, owing to changes in the degree of
light, but this is due to the characteristics of the CdS.
è When taking pictures against light, always use a lens hood.
è When the subject is too bright or too dark and is outside the coupling range of the built-in exposure meter, the meter needle will
point to the top of the viewfinder and will indicate that proper exposure cannot be obtained. Refer to " Coupling Range of Built-in
Exposure Meter " on the following page.
