press the MID.TONE button to select the desired
camera profile.

3-2 Analog scale

The analog scale indicates the last measured value,
memorized, contrast, and averaged value, clipping
point and dynamic range on the LCD. As you can see
in the figure on the right, it is composed of four scales.

3-2-1 Aperture scale

The Aperture scale can be displayed in all mode except Aperture priority mode. Aperture
values are displayed as measured values (last measured value, memorized, contrast
and averaged value) on this scale.

3-2-2 EV scale

It can be displayed in all modes except mul-
tiple flash mode.Aperture scale or EV scale
can be switched by holding the Mode button
⑩ and pressing the AVE./⊿EV button ④.The
EV scale can display a memorized measured
value (ex.Incident reading) as a standard value
(Mid.Tone), and display it on the EV scale as
+/- 7EV from the MID.TONE in 1/3 step incre-
ments.
1) After taking a measurement by pressing the Measuring button ⑭ ,pressing either the
Memory button ⑦ ,MID.TONE button ⑳ or AVE./ ⊿ EV button ④ stores the measured
value as zero in the middle of the EV scale representing the MID.TONE value. Pressing
MID.TONE button will display a blinking "
will display a blinking "
If the MID.TONE button is not pressed,the measured value will be set automatically in
the middle of the EV scale.(See the section "3-2-3")
Reference:
• In custom setting (see page 40), it is possible to select which value (last measurement,
first memorized value or last memorized value) will become the middle value on the EV
scale if the MID.TONE button is not pressed.
