Spot Metering Display
An LCD scale to the right of the picture frame indicates spot metering. In one-point spot
metering, a dot appears at the center position on the scale. In multi-spot metering,
reference spot readings appear fist as free dots on the scale. When the Spot Metering
Button is pressed, free dots are fixed and all spot readings in te memory are averaged
around the center point. Over- or underexposure of more than 4.5 steps is indicated by an
arrow at eigher end of the scale. Highlight and Shadow Compensation is indicated by the
spot metering dot array moving up or down the scale.
Analog/Digital Frame Counter
The same LCD scale is also used as a frame counter to show how many frames are left on the
roll (DX film only). When more than 9 frames are left, the number of usable frames is
displayed on an analog bar graph. The display switches to digital to count down the last 9
frames. This feature is easy to read, and extremely useful when shooting with continuous
high speed motor drive.
