4-2-2 Reflected Light System
Switch the light receiving method to the reflected light
system to make a measurement. The reflected light
system measures the brightness (luminance) of the light
reflected from the subject. It is useful to meter distant
objects such as landscapes, if you cannot go to the
location of the subject, or to meter subjects that generate
light (neon signs, etc.), highly reflective surfaces, or
translucent subjects (stained glass, etc.). Although the
reflected measurement is useful to see from the highlight
to shadow, the measured value should be compensated to
use as the proper exposure depending on the reflectance
ratio. Reflected light measurements are made by aligning
the circle in the viewfinder with the subject area to be
measured at the camera position or in the camera
direction.
