Not being snitty or anything but the meter pattern was discussed just recently in the archives. If I recall correctly the TTL meter was thoroughly discussed last year. So a look through the archives will be your best bet. But, to save some time the meter reads off a 12mm? white spot on the shutter curtain so it is a wide spot meter. Treat it accordingly and all will be well. The TTL requires a compatible flash, either an SF20 or one of the Metz SCA 3501? compatible flashes. The flash meter is completely separate from the ambient light so you can play exposure games by playing the two against each other. Just remember that at any shutter speed over 1/50 will cause progressively more non flash exposed film as the shutter becomes a slit. I believe that the flash is metered in a bottom center weighted pattern much like the old Nikon F4 or 8008.
