It replaces the four separate accumulator cells mentioned in the instructions for use.

Some sequences may have to be shot in zones in which light-contrast is strong (beach or snow scenes, dark shadows . . . l. When the film subject is in one of these zones (full sunlight or deep shadow). it is imperative that the cell should only react to the actual lighting in this zone alone. To achieve this, "zoom" to maximum focal length on the subject. Without taking the eye from the viewfinder, set the switch to "Manual ", so as to block the diaphragm.
