True exposure 12

•On • Off

Determines whether the exposure is auto- matically adjusted to create a true exposure setting. (See Appendix, Glossary of Terms for full explanation).

On allows the adjustment.

Off retains the normal setting.

Spot mode 13

•Normal • Zone

Determines how the camera behaves when set to Spot Mode.

Normal makes the camera behave in the same fashion as when set to Average or Centre Weighted.

Zone makes the camera behave in the same fashion as the Hasselblad 205FCC. That is, the central spot is placed over a particular area of the subject and the AE-L button is pressed. The exposure is then calculated assuming that the metered area is 18% grey or Zone 5 and is indicated on the LCD as Zone 5 (see Appendix / Glossary of Terms). Alternatively, the area can be re-classified to another zone by turning the rear control wheel.

Then, when the camera is moved, the areas within the central spot are indicated by their zone values.
