Full Aperture Metering
Full aperture metering can be performed with FD lenses
which have an aperture signal lever and pin.
Set the meter switch at "ON".
Set the shutter speed dial at the desired speed.
Face the camera towards the subject, look into the
viewfinder, and check the needles in the meter
reading window.
Turn the aperture ring until the meter needle bisects the
aperture metering circle in the meter. If this
adjustment cannot be made, a different shutter speed
must be used.
The meter needle is coupled to the film and shutter
speeds and moves vertically according to the brightness
of the subject. The meter needle moves downward when
the shutter is set at high speeds and upward when it is
set at low speeds. When the shutter is set at a slow speed
outside the coupling range (slower than 1/2 sec. with
ASA 100 film), the meter window turns red, and
metering will become impossible even if the aperture is
changed. When the window turns red and metering
cannot be performed, use high-speed film or the optional
Booster T Finder. Refer to "Coupling Range of Built-in
Exposure Meter" on page 35.
