SETTING EXPOSURE
Match-needle exposure control
1. Look through the finder. With a serviceable
battery and the battery switch on (seep. 12),
the fine meter needle (silhouetted at the
right in the frame when the camera is held
horizontally) will move in response to suf-
ficient light (the more light, the farther
toward the bottom of the frame it wi II go).
Proper exposure can only be achieved using
the meter if the needle is between the two
pointed metering-range limit marks project-
ing into the frame. If the needle does not
move into this area from above the upper
mark, more light on the meter cells is
needed (as by using a lens of greater
maximum aperture, a lighter subject, more
illumination, etc.). If the needle moves be-
low the lower mark, I ight reaching the cells
must be reduced (as with an ND or other
filter over the lens, a darker subject, less
illumination, etc.).
2. As soon as the meter needle stops moving
with your subject composed in the frame,
turn the shutl!lr-speed dial (but not to
"B"-see below) and/or lens aperture ring
each only in click-stops until the circl_e-
tipped follower is lined up with the meter
needle as nearly as possible (as in Illustra-
tion A on the next page).
The location of the follower and the angle
through which it will move depends upon
the film-speed setting as well as the shutter-
