Meter switch operation
  • The first part of the clip shows the FP flash sync switch closing when the mirror is released.

  • The second part of the clip shows the actuation of the mechanism when the meter button is pushed.

  • When turned on (pushed up), the meter contact closes and the lens aperture is stopped down.

  • When the meter switch is on and the mirror flips up, it should be able to disengage the locking lever and turn the meter off.
