In Reply to: - - Turn The FTn Over, So You're Looking At The Bottom of Lens Mount... posted by john c. on March 07, 2002 at 09:12:57:
Thanks- I was looking for the calibration pot. I have been setting the ASA 2 stops off to compensate for the meter being off- I wanted to adjust it so I wouldn't have to do that any more.They like hiding it under the leather/vinyl covering on many bodies, but I prefer not to lift it just to see.

...you may just want to use the "Sunny/f16 Rule",
or just shoot film which has
wide exposure-latitudes, ---if you got INTO the
camera, and found the calibration 'pot', how
do you know that you'd be adjusting
it the CORRECT way??---
best just to leve it alone, and live
with it by adjusting your methods of
shooting with it at '2 stops off'-----
After shooting a roll, I found it to be underexposed. I compared the internal light meter to my hand held exposure meters (2) and determined that it read 2 stops differently. I set the camera for ASA 25 instead of 100 and it shoots normally, which corresponds to 2 stops.I planned to adjust the camera meter to agree with the other 2 since I felt the test was validated by the ASA speed change.

you are doing the correct things.I am happy to hear your using a hand held meter as that is the preferred professional methed in incidence mode.Although the newest F5/100/80 have reliable meters.In tricky lighting situations I always use my cameras Spot meter reading ala Rock concerts, or check with my handheld.
