Canon's

TTL

system

has been adopted in

the

·

Canon

FT

QL

which

provides

the

most

accurate

photometry

.

Under

this

system,

the

CdS

photo

·

cell

of

the

built

-in

meter

is placed in

the

closest

position

to

the

two-way-

mirror

condenser lens.

• The

rectangular

frame

on

the

outside

of

the

prism

screen

within

the

viewfinder

is

the

same

size as

the

CdS

light

receiving

area

of

the

CdS

photocell.

Place

the

center

of

the

photographic

subject

within

this

frame

and

measure

the

intensity

of

light

. In

this

way

the

photographer

can decide

the

best exposure

for

his photo-

graphic

needs. The TTL

system

makes

possible

the

measuring

of

exposures in

counter

-

light

conditions.

•

Measurement

at

"B"

and

"X"

of

the

shutter

dial

is

not

possible

with

the

exposure

meter

because "

B"

is used

for

long exposures over

one second , and "

X"

is used

for

speedlight

Intermediate

cannot

be used,

but

since

any

aperture

may

be

utilized

,

the

shutter

should

first

be

determined

when

strictly

considering

the

exposure.

It

is

most

practical

to

adjust

the

aperture

according

this.

During

the

use

of

the

meter

,

there

are in-

stances

of

the

movement

of

the

needle becom-

ing

slack,

owing

to

changes

in

the

degree

of

light,

but

this

is

due

to

the

characteristics

of

the

CdS.

• When

taking

pictures

against

the

light,

always

use a lens hood.

..

When

the

subject

is

too

bright

or

too

dark

and

is

outside

the

range

of

the

built-in

exposure

meter

,

the

meter

needle will

point

to

the top

or

bottom

zones

and

will

indicate

that

proper

exposure

cannot

be

obtained

. Refer
