its
original
position

cannot
be
obtained
unless the

ing

With the fixing
of
the metering
lever,
telephoto lenses
can
be
conveniently
handled

Also when
shooting subjects
with
different light intensities,
continuous
light measurement
is
possible
.
Due to the
characteristics of
the CdS photocell, the
movement
of
the meter needle may
occasionally
become
slack, owing
to
changes
in the degree
of
light.
When not using the
camera, attach
the lens
cap so as
to
prevent unnecessary
consumption
of the
mercury
battery.

greatly
differing dark and
bright parts, take two measurements. one each of the
dark
and bright parts.
Then obtain the average value
and
set
the
f/
stop or shutter
speed accordingly
.
