The part of the subject representative of
the exposure can be measured precisely.
Unfavourable influences such as
extremely bright or dark portions of the
subject, open light sources, and other
undesirable features can be eliminated
by the measurement of an undisturbed
area of the object representative of the
total subject. In most cases a rule of
thumb can be used: measure the feature
you are focusing on. Generally do not
measure extremes such as dark shadow
portions, bright clouds, open light
sources, or reflections on the water.
Our special leaflet "Selective Light Mea-
surement" No. 111-77 contains further
details.
Setting the film speed and -type
Correct setting of the film speed is essen-
tial to correct exposure measurement.
The setting ring (20) displays the DIN/ASA
values. To set the value for the film in the
camera depress the locking button (16) and
simultaneously turn the ring until the desired
number faces the corresponding index on the
front (DIN) or back (ASA).
The film indicator disc (19) can be set at the
following symbols to denote the type of film in
the camera:
= Black-and-white film
= Daylight colour film
= Artificial-light colour film
= Colour negative film
The locking button (16) serves as index mark
for the setting.
