EXPOSURE MEASUREMENT-continued

Manual Shutter Speed Selection

When the shutter-speed dial is set to other than the " A " setting, manual shutter speed selection is provided, with exposure determination via the "match-needle" method. To determine the correct exposure using manual speed selection, perform the following: Switch on the meter in the usual way and adjust the shutter-speed dial until the green needle in the exposure meter display aligns with the desired speed; then, simply adjust the aperture setting of the lens until the black needle moves to over- lap the green needle. If deliberate under- or overex- posure is desired, adjust the controls so that the green needle is overlapping the next higher number (one-step underexposure) or the next lower number (one-step overexposure). Example under- and overexposure indi- cations are shown on the following page.
