Substitute
readings: If a close-up reading is
not possible,
point
the camera at a substitute
object
of average contrast
and
under the same
lighting.
Use the setting obtained
for the ex-
posure.
Against
the light:
\7hen shooting
against the
light
open the lens aperture by one step
(next
lower
f/number).
For colour
subjects to
be
taken on reversal
colour
film
avoid very
great
brightness differ-
ences. A
close-up reading
of the shadow areas
usually leads to excessive
exposure
for
the
sun-
lit
image
portions,
which
then appear too light
and burnt out when
you project
the slide.
An
average brightness reading
(as
in
the
normal
case)
here again
yields pictures
whidr
corre-
spond most closely to the natural
colour im-
pression.
O
changing the Battery
l3{i:
{
;

lneter is
partic-
ularly
compact

the durability
of
the battery is
18
to 24 months,
provided
that the unused camera is kept
in the case
(i.
e.
in the dark).
(The
voltage drop
occurs
sudden-
ly. Symptom: the exposure
meter
needle
does
not
deflect any
more.)
Recommended precautions :
Changc battery annually.
Remove battety if the camera is
not used
over
an extended
period.
Always remove
and discard exhausted
batteries.
At very low
temperatures
(camera
cooled
to
below
-10o
C
:
+l4o F) change battery
to a
rype PX 625.
To change
the battery,
first open the camera.
Llnscrew the slotted
screw cap
(1)
with a coin.
Insert the
fresh battery into the camera,
