This is a basic Auto expose metering/camera, just like C needle
match but with LED. Uses standard button batteries (x2, bumps
towards the cover) are needed to run the meter. Depress the
shutter half way to turn on the meter. 3 LED lights will determine
if the current setting are enough exposure for the ASA setting and light
coming through the lens. Moving the aperture or shutter speed to
get the GREEN LED by the viewfinder to light. Top RED if over
exposed (less light), lower RED if under exposed (needs more light).
If you find a setting, you can use the "one stop" rule. e.g.
If you get a GREEN light at 1/500 and F5.6 making sure your camera ASA
is set at your film ASA, you can use F8 at 1/250 (less light, slower
shutter speed) or even use F11 at 1/125. You should change your
setting and confirm the exposure is still correct via the meter.
Your viewfinder will dim when metering as the aperture of the lens
closes to the F-stop setting on the lens. |
(Webmaster: LED in column B should light. Changing the shutter
speed or lens
aperture is need to get the correct exposure.
