6. Variable Sensing Spot
-----------------------------------
The sensing spot
of
meter
of
the
M
IR
ANDA
Sensorex
is
placed behind the
mirror
in
al
i
gnment
with
the
optical axis,
The
area and angle
of
this CdS sensing spot
\'ary automatically according to
the
lens in use,
When
using a wide angle lens, a\-erage
li
ght
'reading is more effecti\'e, while
with
telephoto
lens spot reading is a prerequisite,
In
the
Sensorex system, the use
of
a wide angle lens
automati
ca
ll
y sets the meter closer to a\'erage
reading, wh
il
e on the other hand the u
se
of
a telephoto lens decreases the area and angle
of
the
se
nsing spot
to
enable most accurate
spot reading,

With

This
