Instruction manual

The instrument automatically
checks the battery when power is
on.
After a new battery is installed, the
display appears as shown below
after the power is turned on.
If you turn on the meter when the
battery power is running low, "bc"
and a battery level indicator will
appear on the display for approx.
0.5 sec. before the normal display
appears. If this display appears,
replace the battery.

● To conserve battery power, the
meter automatically switches
itself off if no operation has
been performed for
approximately 10 minutes.
To commence measurement
when the display is switched off,
press the power button. (At this
time, all settings for film speed,
shutter speed, measuring mode
and display units are saved, but
the last reading and values in
memory are lost.)
● When you replace the battery
all initial settings are preserved.

Custom settings mode (Alt mode)
1. Alt mode
To adjust the meter's operation settings to your preferences, set the meter
to Alt mode by pressing the power button while holding down either the
ISO button, display-selector button, mode button, or measuring button.
Once in Alt mode, you can switch setting modes by using the ISO button,
display-selector button, mode button or measuring button, and you can
change setting values using the up/down key.
After specifying your desired value, confirm the setting by turning the
power off and then on.

2) Shutter speed increments
3) FNo. display
4) TIME/CINE setting
1) Exposure correction value
This sets the exposure correction value. The set value is displayed
when you turn the power on.
You can adjust this setting to recalibrate the meter to your choice of
exposure values, or when you want to calibration more than one
exposure meter to the same exposure range.

pressing the measuring
button, or press the
measuring button in Alt

If you turn the power on when
there is not enough battery power
to take measurements, or if the
battery runs low during
measurement, a blinking "bo" will
display for approx. 1 min. and then
the display will switch off. If this
happens, replace the battery with
a new one.
