While pressing the Measuring button, the meter

Reference:
・ It is possible to switch between 1, 1/2 and 1/3 shutter speed steps by setting DIP switch
4.
・ You can set shutter speeds from 30 minutes to 1/8000 seconds. After 1/8000 the shutter
speeds of 1/200 and 1/400 can be set.
・ After measurement, the F stop value corresponding to the shutter speed is displayed
when the shutter speed is changed.
・ The measured F value is displayed in 1/2 stops in the liquid crystal dot display (1/3
stops are not displayed). 608 Cine displays values in 1/3 stops only.
・ “E.u” (Exposure under) or “E.o” (Exposure over) appears when the combination of shutter
speed and aperture is not possible for the measured light level. Changing the shutter
speed and or aperture with the Set/change dial will allow you to find a combination that
is possible. The 'E.o' or 'E.u' mark may be displayed at the maximum and minimum F
values, F45 and F0.5, respectively, with the 608 Cine.
・ If the “E.u” or “E.o” readout blinks, this indicates that the light level is beyond the
measurement range of the light meter.
