Meter coupling range
When using an FD 50mm f/ l.4 lens and ISOI
ASA 100 film, the built-in exposure meter cou-
ples within a range of EVl (f/ l.4 at 1 sec.) to
EV18 (f116 at 1/ 1000 sec.). At given film
speeds,
the built-in exposure meter couples
with the aperture and shutter speed, as indicat-
ed in the chart on the ne xt page. If the shutter
speed and aperture combination are outside the
coupling range, the camera warns you by flash-
ing the appropriate display inside the viewfinder.
