Measuring the exposure

By touching lightly the freed release 30 the exposure
meter is switched on for about 30 seconds. Activating
the exposure meter can be repeated whenever needed.
One of the 5 LED`s in the viewfinder will light up. They
have the following significance:
(A) red left:
at least 1 exposure
value under-exposed
(C) green centre:
correct exposure
(B) yellow left:
about 1 / exposure
2
value under-exposed
Note: The measurement characteristics of the
Rolleiflex make this camera ideal for even the most
demanding photographic situation, such as exposures
involving particularly hight contrast
subjects. For exposure compensation, always keep the
most important subject detail within the
measurement field (see illustration) and then
determine the required frame area.
