Using Built-In Exposure Meter
The Canon FT provides the most accurate light measure¬
ment possible with it's unique TTL (Through-The-Lens) sys¬
tem.
The CdS photocell of the exposure meter is placed in
the closest position to the beam-splitting condenser lens.
The semi-spot meter reading system enables accurate
measurement of the main subject even in counter-light
conditions.
The rectangular frame in the viewfinder rep¬
resents the light measurement area of the CdS photocell.
Place the main subject within this frame and measure the
intensity of light so as to obtain the proper exposure.
Film Speed Setting
Set the ASA/DIN film speed scale to the speed of the
film being used.
Film speeds are normally shown on the
film box cover and/or explanatory sheet.
Lift and turn the film speed set ring around the shutter
speed dial.
If the film is ASA 100, for example, make
the correct setting by showing 100 in the small window.
■ The following film speeds may be used :
(32)(40)
(64)(80)
(125)(160)
(250)(320)
(500)(640)
