I am luck to get a used working condition of this small meter. from what I can see (and thinking logically):
- I can turn the center dial to change iso,
- I can read aperture & speed combination in the bottom area
- I can see that the top area with red scale is the reading for EV (with red arrow pointing on it).

the weird thing is that there are two arrow pointing to the needle window. one arrow is black, one is white (or empty) arrow. For me these look like a "high" or "low" scale arrow. the thing confuse me is there are no switch to select either high or low scale. so which arrow should I use in order to get the correct reading. logically speaking, I believe I should read from the black arrow, the white arrow is only when I attach something (booster ??) on it. is that correct ?

I see one screw on the back (pointing to me if I put the meter on the camera I am holding). I believe this is for zero scale adjustment. As I can only assuming, any help will be appreciated.
Thanks :angel:
