Spot mode  14
• Normal • Zone

Zone makes the camera behave in 
the same fashion as the Hasselblad 
205FCC. That is, the central spot 
is placed over a particular area of 
the subject and the AE-L button is 
pressed. The exposure is then calcu-
lated assuming that the metered area 
is 18% grey or Zone 5 and is indicated 
on the display as Zone 5. Alternatively, 
the area can be reassigned to another 
zone by turning the rear scroll wheel.
Then, when the camera is moved, the 
areas within the central spot are indi-
cated by their zone values.

tem is automatically used.

remain always inactive.
