Auto Meter III (804-4307)
The Minolta Auto Meter III
combines a microcomputer,
memory function, and a large
LCD data panel to provide the
accuracy of digital readout and
the graphic indication of an
analog meter. Plus, it gives
continuous readings of f-stop
and shutter speed combina-
tions, as long as the measuring
button is held down. In a sin-
gle display, the user gets both
digital and analog indications
on the LCD data panel.
Minolta’s Dot Array Display is
convenient for visually check-
ing the relative changes in the
amount of light, while the dig-
ital readout offers the most
accuracy. The microcomputer
provides a memory for two
measurements, either of which
can be recalled at the touch of
a button, one at a time, for
comparison with a third, final
measurement. Simultaneously,
the Dot Array Display shows
all three measurements in
terms of the required f-num-
ber so that the lighting con-
trast on all three measured
spots can be quickly com-
pared. A wide variety of
optional accessories are avail-
able, making the Minolta Auto
Meter III an ideal choice.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR AUTO METER III, IV F, and FLASH METER V
Minolta Auto Meter III (804-4307)
Auto Meter IV F (805-4103)
A compact and lightweight digital exposure meter for mea-
suring ambient light and flash, with or without a sync cord. It
is designed to provide unparalleled repeatability and accura-
cy. In all measuring modes, with reflected or incident read-
ings, it is a meter to be relied upon completely, leaving the
photographer free to concentrate on the creative challenges at
hand. Its memory stores two separate readings and displays
them simultaneously, making it easy to determine subject
contrast range or lighting ratio. This is useful when basing
exposure on highlight and shadow reading. For cinematogra-
phers, the Auto Meter IV F has eight framing rate settings.
Plus, the extended ISO range can be used to factor in filtration
correction. A wide range of optional accessories is available
for use with the Auto Meter IV F to further expand its appli-
cations and versatility.

Flashmeter V (805-6103)
The Minolta Flashmeter V’s intelligent AUTO mode mea-
sures ambient, flash, or mixed ambient and flash light. In
addition, it provides exposure analysis for flash measure-
ments, showing the ratio of flash light to overall exposure.
Other easy-to-use functions include: Brightness difference
function for adjusting lighting balance; memory with analog
scale for previsualizing results by measuring multiple points;
calculation functions for averaging stored measurements or
biasing exposure readings for shadows or highlights; instant-
film ISO button for taking measurements for test exposures
without resetting the ISO. Plus an easy-to-read data panel,
positive-action up/down dial and a sliding cover that hides
less often-used buttons.
