Important notes
1
A spare mercury battery for the light
meter is in the small pocket located
in the inside upper portion of the
camera case.
2
Always keep the meter switched off when
not actually taking readings. Leaving the
meter switched on will rapidly exhaust the
battery. It is also necessary to keep the
meter switched off when mounting a
Super.Takumar lens on the Spotmatic
camera body. If it is switched on, the tip
of the automatic diaphragm release pin of
the lens will hit the pin release plate inside
the camera body and it may get damaged.

When removin.g the Super-Takumar
50mm f/ 1.4 lens from the
camera body, do not place it on its
threaded end without the rear
mount cap in place, or you will
scratch its rear element lens.
When the index of the shutter speeds
turns to red, it indicates that the
shutter and film speed settings are
off the meter's measurability range .
Change the shutter speed setting
to a faster or slower setting.
