Make adjustments
  • Use a pick to adjust the variable resistor through the opening in the top plate.

  • Turn it until the needle in the viewfinder is centered in the opening, indicating a proper exposure.

  • The adjustment resistor shown with the top cover removed.

  • Repeat steps 3 and 4 for several different light levels.

  • Since the Spotmatic only has one adjustment resistor, it may not be possible to center the needle at every light level. Make compromises as necessary.
