Select a faster shutter speed when the meter needle
swings all the way up, and a slower speed when it swings
all the way down.
The circular aperture needle is coupled to the
aperture ring of the FD lens. The movement range of the
aperture needle inside the meter reading window changes
according to the lens speed. Thus, it will not always
move vertically the full length of the meter reading
window.
The "A" mark on the aperture ring is only used with
the Servo EE Finder or the Canon AE cameras.
If you prefer to set the f/stop first, turn the shutter
speed dial and bi-sect the aperture metering circle with
the meter needle.
Since the shutter speed dial cannot be set at
intermediate positions, the shutter speed priority
method is recommended when exposure accuracy is a
crucial factor.
Stopped-down Metering
Whenever using an FL or other non-FD lens, such as the
TS 35mm or Fisheye 7.5mm lens, on this camera,
stopped-down metering is necessary. This means that
metering will not take place at full aperture as it does
with an FD lens but, rather, at the same aperture at
which the shot will be taken. For stopped-down
metering, the aperture ring or A-M ring of an FL lens
must be set to "Manual".
The shooting procedure is as follows:
