Canon FT QL User Manual

f/Stop Priority Method
^ Set the pre-set aperture ring at the desired f/stop.
O Face the camera towards the subject, look into the
^ viewfinder, and press the meter circuit switch.
Q While pressing or locking the switch, turn the shutter
” speed dial.
i Set the meter needle at the "o" index within the
™ viewfinder for correct exposure.
■ Since the shutter speed dial cannot be set at the
intermediate positions, the shutter speed priority method
is recommended when exposure accuracy is a crucial
factor.
■ Light measurement at "B" and “X" of the shutter
speed dial is not possible with the built-in exposure meter
because “ B ” is used for long exposures over one second,
and “X" is for the electronic flash unit.
■ When the built-in exposure meter is outside the coupling
range, the meter needle will point to the top of the view¬
finder and will indicate that proper exposure cannot be
obtained. Refer to "Coupling Range of Built-In Exposure
Meter" on the following page.
