The Hasselblad Meter Prism Viewfinders
measure
the
light level on the
focusing screen.
They
are
calibrated at the
factory to
give
an accurate
read-
ing with
one
particular
type of
screen. If that
focusing screen
is replaced
with another type
which
gives
a different
light level under the
same
ambient
conditions, the
meter has to be adjusted
to compensate
for the difference.
The PME and
PME3 / PME5 /
PME51 meter
viewfinders are basically the same
design but are
differently
adjusted at the
factory.
The two viewfinder
types are distinguished
by the
lettering
PME3, PME5 or PME5l
respectively on
;
3the
rear of the viewfinder
body above the eye-
piece.
The PME has no such inscription.
On
page
24
yol
will find instructions on
how to
adjust
the PME and
PME3/PME5/PME51
Meter
Prism Viewfinders
to compensate
for the light
level differences with the
different focusing
screens.
The
PME
90
Meter Prism Viewfinder
requires no
adjustment
when an Acute-Matte or
Acute-Matte
D focusing screen is
fitted.
Please refer to
your
viewfinder's operating
instructions
for further information
about other
functions.
