3) Recommendations
Light readings can also be taken without
locking the shutter release. Either you
read the exposure before the camera is
wou nd
or you carefu IIγpress the
release button and stop down the dia-
phragm
before releasing the shutter.
Ifγou cannot center the needle
there is
not enough
(一
sign) or too much
(+
sign) light and γau have to change
the shutter speed or f/stop accordinglγ-
Atγour convenience γou can also
change f/stops or shutter speeds ma-
nuallγ
independent of the meter system
for personal exposure contro
l.
Keep γour eγe as close as possible to
the large
rotating soft-rubber eγecup
while taking a light reading. This elimi-
nates strong reflections caused by
eγeglasses or incident light
which maγ
not sufficientlγbe compensated bγthe
third CdS cel
l.
Ifγau center the needle
at waistlevel in the window on top of the
camera
cover the eγepiece either with
γour hand or the lens cap.
