EXPOSURE MEASUREMENT-continued
Manual Shutter Speed Selection
When the shutter-speed dial is set to other than the "A"
setting,
manual shutter speed selection is provided, with
exposure determination via the "match-needle" method.
To determine the correct exposure using manual speed
selection,
perform the following: Switch on the meter
in the usual way and adjust the shutter-speed dial until
the green needle in the exposure meter display aligns
with the desired speed;
then,
simply adjust the aperture
setting of the lens until the black needle moves to over-
lap the green needle. If deliberate under- or overex-
posure is desired, adjust the controls so that the green
needle is overlapping the next higher number (one-step
underexposure) or the next lower number (one-step
overexposure). Example under- and overexposure
indi-
cations are shown on the following page.
