Setting The Film Speed - Canon 7 How To Use Manual

Setting the Film Speed

When using the light meter, the speed of the film used should be set on the
film speed indicator window on the shutter speed dial. In order to set the
film speed, turn the shutter speed dial while pressing the film speed
indicator button. In case the speed of the film used is not indicated on the
window, it may be set between two figures.
Using ASA 100 (DlN 21) film, the sensitivity of the light meter is:
High-sensitivity range
(orange dot)
Low-sensitivity-range
(black dot)
When the background is brighter than the subject, measure the correct
exposure from as close as possible.
If you cannot get close to the subject, open the lens aperture by one or
one-and-a-half clicks.
