can be conveniently handled. Also when shooting subjects
with different light intensities, continuous light measurement
is possible .

movement of the meter needle may occasionally become
slack, owing to changes in the degree of light .

not using the camera, attach the lens cap so as to
prevent unnecessary consumption of the mercury battery .
