SETTING EXPOSURE
Match-needle exposure control
1. Look through the
finder.
With a serviceable
battery and the battery switch on (see
p
.
12), the fine meter needle (silhouetted at
the right in the frame when the camera is
held horizontally) will move in response to
sufficient light (the more light, the farther
toward the bottom of the frame it will
go).
Proper exposure can only be achieved using
the meter if the needle is between the two
pointed metering-range limit marks
project-
ing into the frame
.
If the needle does not
move into this area from above the upper
mark, more light on the meter cells is
needed
(as
by
u sing a lens of greater
maximum
aperture,
a lighter subject, more
illumination, etc .).
If the needle moves
below the lower mark, light reaching the
cells must be reduced (as with an NO or
other filter over
the'
lens, a darker subject,
less illumination, etc.).
'2. As soon as the
'
meter needle stops moving
with your subject composed in the frame,
turn the shutter-speed dial (but not to
"B"
- see below) and/or lens apertu re ring each
only in click-stops until the circle-tipped
follower is lined up with the meter needle as
nearly as possible (as Illustration A on the
next page).
The location of the follower and the angle
through which it will move depends upon
the film-speed setting as well as the
shutter-
