for setting exposure compensation and the ISO-value.
The Sinar Hy6 system works with TTL (“through-the-lens”) reflected light metering, i.e. the
light is measured on the basis of the light reflected by the object. Light is metered with 7
sensors arranged on the mirror. The light metering methods differ with regard to the
sensors involved in light metering.

11.2.2 Spot Light Metering
In Spot Light Metering, the measurement area in the centre of the image determines the
exposure of the entire image. This area has a size of 5 x 5 mm and is marked with a circle
on the focusing screen. Only the central sensor is active and contributes 100 % to the
light metering of the entire image.
Set the Light Metering Selector Switch S3 to the position “Spot Metering”. Focus the spot
measurement field in the middle of the focusing screen onto the part of the image that is
decisive for the light metering. Save the light metering values and reposition the camera if
necessary (AE-Lock or B1), and then activate the shutter.
Press the Shutter Release Button B1 while keeping the button AE-Lock B7 pressed.
Spot Light Metering is suitable for difficult light conditions such as backlight situations or
light sources in the image scene.
