.
2. Turn the Jog wheel to set the desired shutter
speed.
3. Press the Measuring button !5 to make a measure-
ment. Release the Measuring button to complete
the measurement. The measured value (aperture
value) at that time will be displayed.
While pressing the Measuring button, the meter
measures continuously until it is released.
Reference:
It is possible to switch between full, 1/2 and 1/3 shutter speed stop by setting DIP
switches 3 and 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 aperture value is displayed either full or half stop increments on the
analog scale.(1/3 stop increments is not possible.)
“E.u” (Exposure under) or “E.o” (Exposure over) appears when the combination of shutter
speed and aperture are outside the display range. Changing the shutter speed or aperture
with the Jog wheel will allow you to find a combination that is possible.
If the “E.u” or “E.o” readout blinks, this indicates that the light level is beyond the
measurement range of the light meter.Adjust a lighting in this case.
