Sure just dial in what ISO you are using. It is the same as ASA or DIN that is film speed on your meter. Not sure how your meter reads. It may have # 1 2 3 etc. if so you line up an arrow or some other mark with the # the meter reads and it will give differant combinations of speed and apature you need. It may have some other system but you should be able to figure it out. Dave

It appears to use ASA for the film setting. Just match the ISO setting in the camera to the ASA on the dial of the meter.

NOTE: Selenium based meters generally loose sensitivity over time. I would carefully check the accuracy before trusing a meter this old.

Good Luck.
