14 METER MODE SELECTOR

14 Meter Mode Selector

There are three ways to turn on the meter, each designed to suit particular metering requirements. To set a meter mode, simply turn the mode selector so that its index aligns with the desired setting.

NORMAL

The meter turns on only while the shutter button is pressed halfway (except for ”B” and ” S ” settings on the shutter dial). This mode is suited for AE photography.

HOLD

The meter turns on the moment you press the shutter button halfway and stays on for 16 seconds even if you remove your finger from the shutter b’utton. It automati- cally turns off after the specified time, thus conserving battery power. This mode is particularly suited for manual exposure and any situation in which you need more time to meter.

LIGHT

As on ”HOLD,” the meter, once activated, stays on for 16 seconds even if you re- move your finger from the shutter button. In addition, the aperture scale in the viewfinder is illuminated for the same period of time. This mode allows you to meter in low-light situations.

In the ”HOLD” and ”LIGHT” modes, you can cancel the meter reading any time within the 16 seconds simply by pressing the battery check button. Each mode-ids also cancelled when the shutter is released. If you have turned on the meter on the ”LIGHT” setting and wish to cancel only the illumination, turn the mode selector to ”HOLD” or ”NORMAL.” The meter will continue to read, automatically turning off after 16 seconds.

Note:

With the AE Finder FN attached and the shutter dial set to ”A,” a different scale than that used for match-needle metering displays exposure information for aperture-priority and stopped-down AK. Consequently, there is no display illumi- nation in the ”LIGHT” mode when the shutter dial is on ”A.”
