Carefully note the needle's position on the
meter dial. Let us assume that your meter
gives a reading of 10.
3. Now turn the top and middle dials (which
arc locked together) until your \il/eston
rating (too) is opposite the meter read-
ing, which was 10. Bear in mind that the
red figures on the top dial should always
be opposite the red figures on the bottom
or stationary dial.
4. Now on the black or right side of the scale you will find that your "f" or stop
numbers on the middle dial are opposite
the shutter speed numbers on the bottom
or stationary dial. In this example your
selection of exposures will be indicated
as follows: f :5.6-t/tSo, f :6.3-r /ro0,
f:8-t/60, f:9-L/50, f:1.2.7-L/25. Any of
these shutter speeds and corresponding
stop adjustments will give you a correctly
exposed film. See Figure 6.
Norn: Diaphragm numbers not appeaflng
on the lens may be obtained by setting
the diaphragm lever Fig. 10 halfway be-
tween the next higher and next lower
figure. Example: to obtain a setting of
f:6.3 set lever half way between f :).6 and
f:8.
After setting your dials and practicing the
reading given in the above example, make some
actual readings with your meter and turn the
calculating dial accordingly. After having prac-
tised these operations briefly, they will become
more or less mechanical, so that you can quickly
. obtain accurate exposufes under all conditions.

number to use in calculating your exposure.
To use the meter, first set it for light condi-
tions. For the example which follows, we will
assume it is a bright day with sunshine. Hold
the middle dial stitionary with your thumb and
turn the top dial until the black arrow marked
"Set Indicitor for Light" is pointing to the
section on the middle dial marked "Bright".
x Next, determine the \0feston Rating or emul-
sion speed of the film you are using. Refer to
the ta6le on page 25. ln this example we will
use a frlm wittr a \Teston Rating of 50. The
nearest number to 50 which apPears on the
calculating dial is 64, which is the factor we
can will use in the following example. You
now proceed to calculate the exposure as fol-
lows:
1. Look through the meter at your subject'
Select the window through which you can
barely see the outline of the number.-Try
looking through several other windows
until you are sure you have selected the
right one. Under the conditions described
above it would be window number 4.
2. Turn the top and middle dials together
"64" (the closest num- f until the red figure :!*1 ber to the actual film speed) is opposite
the number of the window you are using
(No. a).
3. Now read your exposure on the right
hand or black figures of the two dials. In
this instance thJexposure would be t/t1o
at f:8 or 1/700 at f:\t or I/50 at f:16.
Any of these indicated exposures would be
correct. See Figure 10.
