4. COMPOSE AND FOCUS While viewing through the finder, turn the focusing ring until your subject comes into sharp focus. 5. TURN ON LIGHT METER AND ROTATE DIAPHRAGM RING Make sure that the rapid-wind lever is at its preadvance angle, not at its completely closed position. As you depress the shutter button halfway, the light meter turns on, and the black meter needle matches the blue one. When the needles match, you have the correct exposure. (The f-stop you have selected is also visible in the small window above the viewfinder.) If the black needle does not match the blue one no matter how far you turn the diaphragm ring, change the shutter speed. 6. RELEASE SHUTTER Hold your camera firmly and trip the shutter. Then cock the rapid-wind lever for the next picture. (As long as the lever is at its preadvance angle, the light meter stays ON. If you push it back to the completely closed position, the meter is turned OFF.) •9 II Is 6 2 1
