[. . . ] This will prevent any internal damage arising from battery leakage. 2. After checking battery (for about 0. 5 sec. ) the display automatically changes to measuring mode (Fig. Note: If you switch the meter on while depressing ISO key, the display of b. c. Selecting measuring mode Power on and slide the mode selection switch to the position you want; wireless measurement for flash light wired or measurement for flash light am bient light measurement 3 4. [. . . ] After this period of time the auto-off circuit will operate and turn the display off. Measurement using Flash Unit with Synchro Cord It is recommended that the meter is used in the wired measurement mode when the flash light is measured from subject position or when the meter fails to register flash light from wireless measurement; for example, close to a fluorescent lamp, or in high ambient conditions etc. 1. Set the mode selection switch to position will be indicated on The symbol the display (Fig. 10). 2. Set the film speed (ISO) and shutter speed (r) as shown in the paragraph for "Preparing the Meter for Operation". Connect the synchro cord to the synchro terminal of meter and to the flash unit. 3. 4. Press the measuring switch to fire the flash. Note: The notes for wireless measurement are also applicable to wired measurement. 6 Ambient Light Measurement Measuring ambient light, whether it is daylight or standard electric light, is a fairly simple matter using either incident or reflected light method. 2. Set the film speed (ISO) and shutter speed (T) as shown in the paragraph for "Preparing the Meter for Operation". 13). 3. 4. When the measuring switch is kept depressed in the ambient light mode, the display will give a continuous reading of the changes in brightness. 7 5. By pressing F/EV key the F/number display will be changed to the EV/number display, and vice versa. In case of EV mode the bar-dot symbols are not indicated on the display (Fig. Note: The notes for wireless measurement are also applicabel to ambient light measurement. The procedures for taking measurements when using a movie camera are the same as for taking ambient light measurements. Then, after the display of 1/8000 sec. , cine scales for 8, 16, 18, 24, 32, 64 and 128 fps. By changing ISO sensitivity the measured F-stop value will automatically be altered to the appropriate one corresponding to the changed ISO value (Fig. 16) This post-measurement calculation is ap plicable to all measuring modes, wireless and wired flash light measurement, and ambient light measurement. 2. By changing the shutter speed (l) the measured F-stop value will automatically be altered to the appropriate one cor responding to the changed T value (Fig. Post-measurement calculation for shutter speed (1) is only applicable to the am bient light measuring mode. If you make post-measurement calculation for T in flash light measuring mode, the indicated F-stop value will turn into 0. Contrast Metering for Lighting Balance When calculating a desired lighting balance, the meter can be used to measure the brightness of main and fill-in lightings from the subject position. t. 2. Mount a Lumidisc instead of Lumisphere for usual incident light measurement. Select the measuring mode, and set the film speed (ISO) and shutter speed (T) as shown in the paragraph for "Preparing the Meter for Operation". 3. Point the center of Lumidisc accurately toward the center and axis of the main lighting source from the subject position, and measure the light according to the measuring method for the respective mode. In this case, be sure that the meter is held so that it is not influenced by the main lighting source. The F-stop difference between the main and fill-in lighting sources is the lighting contrast ratio (Fig. 18). 4. 5. 10 Illuminance (LUX) Measurement The meter can be used as a LUX meter when used with the Lumidisc in the ambient light measuring mode. Mount the Lumidisc, and slide the mode selection switch to position Set the film speed (ISO) to ISO 100 regardless of your film speed.
