Control wheel direction
8/
8
•
Clockwise
• Counter clockwise
Determines the effect the direction of the
controls wheels have on a setting.
For example, by moving the front control
wheel to the left you can alter the aperture
setting from f/8 to f/6.8 to f/5.6 and so on.
By changing the wheel direction setting
however, the same action of turning the
wheel to the left would then produce the
opposite effect, that is, the aperture set-
tings would change from f/ 8 to f/ 9.5 to
f/ 11, and so on.

Determines how the camera behaves
when set to Spot Mode.
Normal
makes the camera behave in the
same fashion as when set to Average or
Centre Weighted.
Zone
makes the camera behave in the
same fashion as the Hasselblad 205FCC.
That is, the central spot is placed over a
particular area of the subject and the AE-L
button is pressed. The exposure is then cal-
culated assuming that the metered area is
18% grey or Zone 5 and is indicated on the
LCD as Zone 5 (see Appendix / Glossary
of Terms). Alternatively, the area can be
reassigned to another zone by turning the
rear control wheel.
Then, when the camera is moved, the areas
within the central spot are indicated by
their zone values.
