To use a meter for reflected-light measurements, you need to use one of
the attachments for reflected-light measurements (40° acceptance angle).
The exposure is based on the average of the light reflected from all
subjects within the meter's field of view (approximately 40°). If you need to
do selective metering or take spot measurements of specific parts of a
subject, use the Viewfinder 5° (5° acceptance angle). (See page 20.)
● To attach and detach these accessories, follow the same procedure as
described for the Spherical Diffuser. (Attach and detach devices by
rotating the holder (ring).)

To take a reflected-light reading, aim the meter's receptor head from
the camera position so that it reads the area you want to measure.
● The receptor can rotate through a range of 270 degrees, so that you
can use the meter in an almost any photographic configuration.
Align the white dot on the diffuser
with the index on the meter
receptor head, push the diffuser
into the receptor head, and turn
the diffuser clockwise until it stops.
(To connect the Mini receptor,
insert its plug into the accessory-
receptor jack.)
Rotate the diffuser anticlockwise
until it stops, and pull the diffuser
to detach it.
To take an incident-light reading, position the meter near the subject
and aim the Spherical Diffuser directly at the camera.
● The receptor can rotate through a range of 270 degrees, so that you
can use the meter in an almost any photographic configuration.
