When set for reflected light (spot metering)

1. This method measures the brightness (luminance) of the light reflected from the subject. It is
useful for distant objects such as landscapes, when you cannot go to the position of the subject,
or for metering subjects that generate light (neon signs, etc.), highly reflective surfaces or
translucent subjects (stained glass, etc.).
2. The spot metering area can be selected by turning the
Zoom Lens ring @6 while looking through the viewfinder

you look into the finder.
< Step-Up Ring (Lens Hood)> (optional)

The step-up ring can also be used as a hood to protect the zoom lens from scratching, soiling,
etc.
< 2x Angle Converter > (optional)
Mounting the 2x angle converter to the objective lens unit enables zoom measurements at a
light receiving angle of 2 - 8 .
