IMPORTANT
NOTES
Always
keep
the
meter
switched
off
when
not
actu-
ally taking readings. Leaving
the
meter
switched
on
will rapidly
exhaust
the
battery
.
It
is also necessary
to
keep
the
meter
switched
off
when
mounting
a Super-
Takumar
or
SMC
Takumar
lens
on
the
Spotmatic
II
camera body.
If
it
is switched
on
,
the
tip
of
the
auto-
matic diaphragm release
pin
of
the
lens will
hit
the
pin release plate inside
the
camera
body
and
it
may
get damaged.
When
the
index
of
the
shutter
speeds
turns
to
red,
it
indicates
that
the
shutter
and film speed settings are
off
the
meter's
measurability range. Change
the
shut-
ter speed setting
to
a faster
or
slower
setting
. Refer
to
page 27.
When
the
meter
is
the
switched
on,
the lens
(any
Super-Takumar
or
SMC
Takumar
lens) is in its manual
position even
when
the
diaphragm preview lever is in
"AUTO"
(automatic)
position. When
the
meter
is
switched
off
manually,
or
automatically
after
shutter
release,
the
lens
returns
to
its
automatic
position
when
it
is set in
"AUTO"
position.
