4-2-2 Reected Light System
Switch the light receiving method to the reflected light
system to make a measurement. The reflected light system
measures the brightness (luminance) of the light reflected
from the subject. It is useful to meter distant objects such as
landscapes, if you cannot go to the location of the subject, or
to meter subjects that generate light (neon signs, etc.), highly
reflective surfaces, or translucent subjects (stained glass,
etc.).
To take a reected-light measurement, hold the meter in front
of the camera and point the metering lens toward the part of
the subject you want to measure. If the subject area is small,
you may have to move the meter closer to the subject to
measure it properly.
NOTICE
● As the reected-light lens has a 40-degree view, measurements made from the camera
position will often result in an average of all subject tones.
● To measure only part of the object, move the meter as close as possible to the part of the
subject you want to measure. Take care to position the meter so that it does not cast a
shadow onto the part of the subject you want to measure.
● The lens is an important light receiving unit. Do not touch the lens or allow it to become
dirty. Wipe the meter lens with a dry soft cloth if it becomes dirty. Never use organic
cleaners (like thinner or benzene) to clean the meter lens.
