The Flash Meter VI offers a comparative display of the results of incident
light measurement and spot (reflected light) measurement. Used with the
latitude display function, the meter provides a clear and simple graphical
decision process for determining an exposure suited to the nature of the
photograph.
Combining incident light measurement
and spot measurement
1
Take an incident light
measurement to determine
the standard exposure.
2
Press the LATITUDE
button to select latitude
display mode.
◆ A latitude based on the
standard exposure measured in
Step 1 is displayed on the dot
indicator of the analog scale L.
4
By comparing the spot
measurement result
displayed on the analog
scale R with the latitude
displayed on the analog
scale L, you can ensure
that the exposure of the
spot you are emphasizing
is within the latitude range.
If the measurement result is
outside the latitude range, adjust
the lighting conditions and take
another spot measurement.
3
Take a spot measurement
of the area of the subject to
be emphasized, such as
the highlight or shadow
areas, and store the
measured values in
memory.
◆ The result of the spot
measurement is displayed on
the pointer of the analog scale
R.
If the measurement result is
outside the latitude range, the
dot indicator blinks.
● While holding down the spot
measuring button, you can
monitor the deviation from the
standard exposure in the
viewfinder display with a
precision of 0.1 EV. (See p. 52.)
If the measurement result is
outside the latitude range, the
∆EV indicator blinks.
