Stop-down exposure measurement must be made whenever the aperture ring of the lens doesn't couple with the meter coupling lever ,~ of the camera. After focusing and switching on the meter, follow these procedures:
For Lenses with Automatic Diaphragms
In P, S, or A mode: Push the depth-of-field preview lever all the way down, manually stop the lens down or open it up to your desired f-number, and trip the shutter while holding the lever. Note that, with the lever depressed. metering is automatically switched to centerweighted
In M mode: Hold down the preview lever and turn the shutter speed dial and/or lens aperture ring until the LCD shows -+, indicating correct exposure on manual. Release the preview lever and take the shot.
•If the depth-of-field /ever is pushed down in the P or S mode, the shooting mode is automatically switched to the A mode; also the LCD shows the shutter speed selected by the camera for the aperture in use In the s mode, the shutter speed indication showing the shutter speed set on the dial does not disappear.
For Lenses or Accessories Without Automatic Diaphragms
In A mode only: P and S modes should not be used. Stop the lens down manually until the desired shutter speed appears in the viewfinder Then take the picture.
In M mode: Adjust the shutter speed or aperture until the -+ indi- cation appears above M
