The
CdS meter incorporated
In
the
MIRANDA
Sensorex
is
of
the match-needle
type permitting speedy, accurate light measure-
ment.
It
is
moreover cross-coupled to the
shutter and diaphragm mechanisms.
By
looking through the viewfinder, you can
see
at
a glance whether the prevailing light
is
sufficient to guarantee correct exposure
without
extra adjustments. MoreOl'er, since the meter
is
cross-coupled, light reading can be done
through pre-selection
of
either the shutter
speed or lens aperture, depending on the method
preferred by the user.
• Aim the camera toward the subject and
while looking through the viewfinder
turn
the shutter speed dial or diaphragm setting
/'
lever
until
the follower needle (with inverted
C
on
the
tip
) coincides with the meter
needle.
This
simple procedure enables ac-
curate light measurement.
•
To
obtain special effect by doubling the
exposure, match the upper curve
of
the
inverted C to the meter needle.
To
decrease
the exposure by one setting, match the lower
curve
of
the inverted C to the needle.
•
When
in
case
of
aperture pre-selection
method the needles fail to coincide even
when the shutter speed dial
is
turned, set
the shutter speed to the closest setting and
then
turn
the diaphragm setting lever until
the needles are perfectly matched. Do not
under any circumstances adjust the shutter
speed dial to an intermediate setting.
