VC Meter II - operating modes

[ampguy]

Just received it today, pretty nifty meter. Matches up most of the time with my M6 meter, but under some lighting conditions, can be 1/2 stop difference, probably based on the 30 deg coverage of the VC meter, and smaller spot for the M6 with 35mm lens.

I have a question about modes - in the manual, you are supposed to set either speed or aperture first, then press the button and only adjust one or the other.

Can you adjust both during a single on session, or just one dial?

The disadvantage to this unit is it's not that fast, if you move to different lighting situations, the M6 meter will adjust, with the VC meter, it seems to take one reading per press on the orange square button, and holds that value unless you keep the orange button depressed.

Still a very nice compact unit.

You can twiddle both knobs as you see fit.

I wouldn't like the meter reading to be changing in between button presses though. I normally take a 'sneaky' reading and then twiddle the knobs to check the light level.

If you want it to constantly read the light - hold in the orange button.

Thanks Kully,

Figured it out, and it's a very useful meter.
