MOUNTING THE LENS To mount a lens , first push the camera's meter
coupling pin to the right
as
far
as
it
will
go. Set
the lens diaphragm
at
f/5.6 and insert the lens into
th
IY
bayonet mount, making sure that the coupling
pin fits into the slotted prong on the lens. Twist
the lens counterclockwise until it locks into place
with a sharp click.
I n lenses having no slotted prong, mounting
is
done
at
a position where its aperture indicator
a
ligns
with the coupling pin
of
the camera.

Maximum aperture indicator
In
order to measure light at full aperture with
lenses
of
different maximum apertures, the
Nikomat
ELW's
meter must
be
adjusted for the
maximum aperture
of
the lens
in
use. This must
be
done each time a lens
is
mounted. Turn the
aperture ring all the way to the minimum aperture
setting (largest f/number), then
all
the way
in
the
opposite direct ion. This step automatically adjusts
the meter to the maximum aperture
of
the lens.
