At the bottom of the srt-100 there is a little dial that has three settings B.C/OFF/ON be sure you have working batteries and have the dial set to ON. I still don't know what B.C is for. When you look through your viewfinder the needle should now be moving depending on the amount of light that is entering the lense. All you have to do is move the shutter speed or apeture to make the other dial with the circle match up with needle and you have your exposure. Remember to consider what you are looking for in the picture you are taking. If you want depth of field, set the desired apeture for the desired affect, low number for a shallow depth of field, and only adjust the shutter speed to get your exposure and vice versa. Hope my answer has helped :) I'm still searching the web for a manual, I don't know what the difference is between the B.C setting and the ON setting is. BC is for checking the condition of the battery for the light meter!!
What else can I help you with?
What type of camera has a sensor that converts light into eletrical charges?
Any film camera with a light meter, and every digital camera, has a sensor that will do that.
How to compare the brightness of the old light bulbs to the new energy effiecint bulbs?
Use a phone app like light meter which uses the camera to give a luminosity level.
How do you properly use exposures with photography?
To use exposures, it is best to know what they are. Exposures are combinations of film speed, shutter speed, and aperture. To use them best, a photographer should use the results (via the camera's light meter) to see if the combinations will create the desired light in camera's sensor (digital) or film.
Will Pentax 35MM camera lenses fit any other camera?
Pentax screwmount lenses (M42) will fit differently branded cameras with the same mount. It will easily fit other camera mounts including digital bodies using a cheap adapter. Just make sure you use the correct version of the adapter that focuses correctly to infinity. With Pentax K-mount lenses, there are existing adapters that will mount these to a four/thirds system camera, the Canon EF EOS, the Minolta MA or Sony Alpha and the Leica M39 screw mount. Take note that in most digital bodies, the lens can only be used at manual mode. Some camera models will not meter through it even at stop down. Pentax dSLR bodies will meter through them and add Shake Reduction and focus confirmation even if the lens is full manual.
What does stopping down mean in photography?
The following applies to an SLR and may not apply to a DSLR. It can mean either: a) simply reducing the light transmitted to the film or camera sensor by way of adjusting the aperture so that it is smaller. b) manually reducing the aperture from full-open before taking the picture to either i) preview the depth of field through the viewfinder or ii) take a meter reading at the aperture that will be used for the shot in order to arrive at the corresponding shutter speed or iii) take the shot with the aperture stopped down, forcing the camera meter to calculate the shutter speed at the moment of exposure. The latter two are referred to as stop-down metering. To do so and allow ambient light to enter the viewfinder eyepiece (say, because you mount the camera on a tripod and stand back from the camera) would be a mistake since light entering the eyepiece will alter the meter reading. One reason for performing stop-down metering is because the lens has been attached to the camera body by means of a reversing ring. In this case, the lens levers and pins cannot transmit the aperture information to the camera in order for the meter to calculate the exposure. Not all cameras have stopped-down metering capability, for sure. My old Canon A1 does, and has a lever controlled metal blind that covers the eyepiece to prevent stray light from entering.
How to use a light meter with a film camera?
To use a light meter with a film camera, follow these steps: Set the ISO/ASA on the light meter to match the film speed of your camera. Point the light meter towards the subject you want to photograph. Press the button on the light meter to measure the light. Adjust the aperture and shutter speed on your camera based on the light meter reading. Take the photo using the settings recommended by the light meter. Remember to adjust the settings as needed for different lighting conditions.
Is Camera Exposure caused because light is a wave?
The exposure is controlled by the camera's light meter
What type of camera has a sensor that converts light into eletrical charges?
Any film camera with a light meter, and every digital camera, has a sensor that will do that.
How to read a light meter on a film camera?
To read a light meter on a film camera, look through the viewfinder and adjust the settings until the meter indicator lines up with the center mark. This ensures proper exposure for your photo.
What is a light meter used for?
If you mean a light meter that is used in a photographic studio, then it measures the light that hits the 'subject' from the studio lighting, the light meter then tells you what you need to set your camera to, for the correct exposure.
What is a foot candle meter?
The type of light meter that measures the light intensity in pictures is a foot-candle meter. They help in setting the camera right and help in calculating the best lighting.
Object called Minolta-meter anybody know anything about it?
Not without a photo/description.
How do light meter apps work to measure the intensity of light in different environments?
Light meter apps work by utilizing the camera on a smartphone to measure the amount of light present in a specific environment. The app analyzes the brightness levels captured by the camera and provides a numerical value representing the intensity of light. This information can help users adjust their camera settings or determine the appropriate lighting conditions for photography or other activities.
How can an incident light meter be used to accurately measure the light in a photography setting?
An incident light meter can be used in photography to measure the amount of light falling on a subject. By pointing the meter towards the light source, it can provide an accurate reading of the light intensity, allowing the photographer to adjust their camera settings accordingly for a well-exposed photograph.
What is the best way to use the Nikon light meter for accurate exposure settings in photography?
To use the Nikon light meter for accurate exposure settings in photography, point the camera towards the subject and adjust the settings until the meter indicator is at the center. This ensures proper exposure for your photos.
How to compare the brightness of the old light bulbs to the new energy effiecint bulbs?
Use a phone app like light meter which uses the camera to give a luminosity level.
Which tool for improving images uses photocells?
A light meter is a tool used to measure the intensity of light, which can help photographers adjust their camera settings for optimal image quality. The light meter contains photocells that detect the amount of light in a scene and provide readings for proper exposure.
