Canon FT - Exposure Setting Procedures; Shutter Speed Priority Exposure

Exposure Settings
The built -i n exposure meter, which is of the zero-adjust-
ment type, is coupled to the shutter speed dial and pre-
set aperture ring. The exact exposure is easily deter-
mined according to the brightness of the subject to be
photographed. There are two ways of determining the
exposure-either by first selecting the sh utter speed or
by first selecting the fj stop of the aperture .
• With this latest FT, the meter needle may move even
when
the metering lever is not pressed. When th e meter
needle indicates the change of light volume, readjust
settings to obtain the correct exposure value by pressing
the meter ing lever.
