Custom Settings
◆ The following display modes can be cus-
tomized according to the photographer’s
preference. To set the custom display
modes, turn the meter OFF and then press
the Power button in combination with:
— The measuring button—to set exposure
correction value. Use the Up/Down con-
trol to adjust the value up to ± in 0.1EV
increments.
— The ISO button—to set shutter speed
value. Use the Up/Down control to adjust
the value in 1-stop, 1/2-stop, and 1/3-stop
increments.
— The MODE button—to set Time /Cine
readout. Use the Up/Down control to
select either the TIME or CINE display.
— The Display Selector button (FNo/EV)—
to set the aperture display in either full
stops with 1/10 – stop increments or
direct F number readout, which displays
intermediate f-number setting (e.g. f/3.5,
3.6, 3.7, etc). This is useful for many of
today’s digital cameras.
◆ Once you have set one of the above prefer-
ences, press the Power button to turn the
meter OFF and then turn the meter back
ON, which will lock-in the user selection.

accurately measure small areas
of a scene...................................................99.95
Flat Diffuser
(MIFD):
The flat diffuser is used to
measure the lighting ratio
between main and
auxiliary light sources to
determine illuminance
values, and to take exposure readings for flat
surfaces such as paintings ........................17.95
Reflected Light
Attachment II
(MIRLA405F):
The reflected light
attachment has a 40°
angle of acceptance, which
corresponds to the angle
of view seen with a 50mm lens on a 35mm
SLR camera ...............................................17.95
Mini Receptor
(MIMR):
For photomacrography and close-up work,
this remote receptor plugs into the socket on
the meter’s receptor head. The Mini Receptor
