TTL EXPOSURE METER-Continued

Extreme-high or low light situations

If the black needle remains in "A" or "B" after all possible aperture settings have been tried, then the available light is too bright or too dim to cover the meter's EV range. Switch to a new film that matches the available light or mount a neutral density (NO) filter onto the lens to cut down on the amount of light or use artificial light to increase luminosity, whichever is appropriate.

Operable shutter speed

The camera's meter may be used only within the shutter speed range covered by the exposure value (EV) range of the meter, which varies with the aperture and ASA setting.

The chart on page 39 shows the relationships between the f-stop, shutter speed and film speed, indicating the slowest functioning shutter speed (for metering purposes) with any film speed/f-stop combination.

Careful attention to the following instructions will assure precise exposure, automatically, over the complete exposure control and meter range capa- bility of your Nikomat ELW.
