The CdS meter of the MIRANDA Sensorex is powered by a mercury battery. Before using
your new Sensorex, therefore, load the mercury
battery which is supplied with it in the battery compartment of the camera.
I. Take off the battery compartment lid of the camera by turning it in a counterclockwise
motion.
2. Place the mercury battery in the compartment, seeing to it that the (+) side faces the
camera back, and close the lid.
3. The meter will be activated by turning on the meter switch.
· The meter will not function if the polarity of the mercury battery is reversed.
· Under ordinary circumstances, the mercury battery will provide sufficient power to work the meter over a duration of about two years.
The battery power declines sharply when it nears the end of its life-span, resulting in sluggish movement of the meter needle seen through
the finder. In this case, replacement of the mercury battery is necessary.
· When replacing the mercury battery, use Mallory # 625 or equivalent.
· Remove the mercury battery from its compartment when the camera is to be left unused over any great length of time.
2. Setting the Film Speed
The CdS meter of the MIRANDA Sensorex is coupled to the film speed dial. After loading
the film, therefore, see that the film speed dial is set properly. Failure to adjust this dial
according to the speed rating of the film loaded in the camera will prevent the meter from
giving correct exposure reading.
· Lift and turn the knurled outer ring of the shutter dial in either direction until the desired
figure comes directly opposite the indicator.
· It is unnecessary to re-adjust the film speed dial unless film of a different speed rating is
loaded in the camera.
· The same film speed setting is employed when using filters or in close-ups and
photomicrography.
· Intermediate settings on the dial denote film speeds given in the illustration.
