USER GUIDE
Description
Used for light situations where there is no
particular dominance of light or dark areas across
the tonal range. Takes into account approximately
25% of the image seen in the viewfinder.
Emphasizes the central section of the focusing
screen equivalent to approximately 25% of the
image. This provides a balanced assessment and
is a typical choice where the main subject is in the
centre of the image.
The sensitive area is equivalent to approximately
2.5% of the image area (the central spot on the
viewfinder screen). Any parts of the image outside of
this area will not affect the exposure reading. This
provides a very accurate measurement of specific
tones. Typically used in the zone system and similar
light measuring situations where maximum control
is required. Also excellent for tonal comparison
measurements.
