Photometer 2 Instruction Manual

Insert the frame in the camera exactly as you would a film carrier. The metering frame is
designed to the same geometry as a standard film carrier and should engage positively
in the camera. The frame incorporates a slide shutter and this should be behind the
metering probe, that is, it should come between the ground glass screen and the
metering probe. The shutter is used to exclude light from the interior of the camera when
taking readings particularly in challenging circumstances.
Insert the metering probe into the wider of the two slots in the top of the frame, if it is not
already inserted. The sensor should be facing the front (lens) of the camera. If it is not
clear which side is the sensor, the connector block at the other end of the probe should
be on the front side. A white circle on the rear of the metering probe indicates the
location of the sensor.
Connect the probe to the metering unit with the cable.
Turn on the meter and set the film speed (lower left control).
The display indicator will display zero (centre of the display) when the measured part of
the image will give a neutral grey at the exposure settings on the meter.
