Special Functions
● Hold down the S/A/H button to view the result of the shadow-based
exposure calculation on the digital display and on the dot indicator of the
analog scale L.
● If there are any measurement values already stored in memory, the
meter will determine the exposure for the darkest area measured and
stored in memory. The meter can only make shadow exposure
calculations with measurements stored in memory. If there are no
measurements stored in memory, the meter determines the appropriate
exposure based on the latest measurement (displayed reading).
● If you take photographs according to the aperture given by the shadow
exposure calculation, the shadow areas will be accurately reproduced
on film as shadows (lower latitude).
● In the above example, the shadow exposure for the darkest measured
area (aperture: F2.0+0.0) was determined.
Special Functions
Shadow calculations (for spot readings only)
When you want to reproduce some detail in the darkest areas of a
composition (shadow areas) without blocking them out, take a spot
reading of the shadow area and use the meter’s shadow exposure
calculation function to determine the appropriate exposure for the shot.
