The CdS exposure meter is activated by pushing toward the camera front the meter switch
located on the base of the film rewind knob.
· The meter switch has click stop to prevent it from accidentally slipping out of position.
· The On/Off indicator is on the flash synchronizer selector. Regardless of whether the flash
synchronizer selector is set to FP or X, the indicator will show at a glance whether the
switch is turned on or off.4www.butkus.org
· Be sure to adjust the flash synchronizer selector accurately to the click stop settings at FP
or X. Failure to do so will prevent the On/Off indicator from giving the On or Off setting
accurately.
· It is unnecessary to turn off the meter switch after each exposure; however, to prevent
battery drain, it is advisable to shift the lever to Off position when the camera is to be left
unused.
4. Open Aperture Light Measuring
The MIRANDA Sensorex is the only camera in the world permitting open aperture light
reading with either exclusive Miranda lenses or other brands of preset diaphragm lenses. The
method employed in light measurement is basically the same with any of these lenses.
· The exposure computer system of the MIRANDA Sensorex is adjusted perfectly to the Auto-
Miranda lens or other preset diaphragm lens in use, simply by setting the lens selector dial on
the camera front according to the maximum aperture of the lens. If, for instance, a 50mm f/I.8
lens is mounted on the Sensorex, turn the dial until the figure I.8 appears in the window.
The lens selector dial has the following settings:
1.4 - 1.8 - 2.8 - 3.5 - 4 - 5.6 - 8
The CdS meter of the MIRANDA Sensorex is cross-coupled to the shutter speed and diaphragm mechanisms. Therefore, exposure is
determined according. to one of the following methods:
1. An appropriate shutter speed is pre-selected and the diaphragm setting lever is turned until the two needles in the finder are matched
perfectly.
2. By pre-selecting the lens aperture, the meter needles are matched by turning the shutter speed dial.
3. In case of preset diaphragm lenses, the diaphragm setting lever is manipulated and the aperture reading where the two needles coincide
is then transferred to the aperture scale of the lens.
