4. Basic Operation

5. When set for reflected light (spot metering)

1. This method measures the brightness (luminance) of the light reflected from the subject. It is

useful for distant objects such as landscapes, when you cannot go to the position of the subject,

or for metering subjects that generate light (neon signs, etc.), highly reflective surfaces or

translucent subjects (stained glass, etc.).

2. The spot metering area can be selected by turning the

Zoom Lens ring @6 while looking through the viewfinder

from the camera position.

3. Take the measurement by aligning the circle inside the

viewfinder with the subject area to be measured.

4. The black circle A in the finder indicates the measure-

ment range. The light receiving angle is 1 degree with

the telephoto setting of the zoom lens and 4 degrees

with the wide angle.

< Visibility Adjustment >

Turn the eyepiece and adjust the visibility so that the circle in the finder is clearly visible when

you peer into the finder.

< Step-Up Ring > (optional)

The step-up ring (30.5mm → 40.5mm), available as an optional accessory, makes it possible to

mount step rings and filters of other manufacturers. This simplifies the setting of exposure

without the troublesome correction calculation of PL filters, etc.

The step-up ring can also be used as a hood to protect lenses from scratching, soiling, etc.

< 2x Angle Converter > (optional)

Mounting the 2x angle converter to the objective lens unit enables zoom measurements at a

light receiving angle of 2° - 8°.
