Dumb Question

[SamPhillips]

I feel like a dork asking these simple questions around experts like y'all haha. Sorry. My question: Does the Konica C35 Automatic's light meter supposed to be on all the time?

Here you go. This should help hopefully.

Supposedly in flash mode it should be off as shutter speed is fixed to 1/30 or maybe 1/60. In many cameras flash mode works also as "Meter OFF" switch.

Lens cap is the key

The lens cap is the on/off 'switch' for the meter.

With CdS meters, the light sensor is a cell that changes resistance when exposed to light. The resistance is the highest when dark so it's very much like a switch in the 'off' position.

I think there is such a thing as a stupid question, but I do NOT think this is one of them. 🙂
