18.2Match-needle Metering

To meter the subject manually, simply disengage the shutter dial from ”A.” The shutter speed scale will disappear, and the aperture scale and shutter speed display will appear to the right of the field of view. Then set the shutter speed and aperture in the usual manner, matching the meter and aperture needles in the viewfinder.

18.3Stopped-down (Fixed-index) Metering

Although stopped-down AE is a much simpler and faster method of metering, you can still use fixed-index stopped-down metering.
