ods used to activate the camera and metering system.
The system turns off automatically
l6 seconds after the
last button operation to save the batteries but allthe im-
portant information remains stored in the memory and
returns when the camera is re-activated.
The selective light meter is the most important feature in
the metering system. The metering area is indicated by a
circle ofdots in the centre ofthe focusing screen. The cir-
cle has a diameter of 28 mm which is approximately 20o/o
of the total image area.
The meter is very sensitive and accurate.lt measures the
light reflected from the subject within the metering area,
applying a centre-weighted integral method. This means
that light from outside that area has very little effect.
Owing to its sensitivity and accuracy, minor changes of
the metering area may result in significant changes in
exposure values.
Like allother reflectian exposure meters
the selective meter is adjusted to pro-
vide on exposure value that would re-
sult in an'l8ot6 grey tone'- the photo-
