terry_evans3 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 <p>Hello,<br> Today, I received a RZ ProII with metered prism that I bought on the auction. It's in wonderful condition. But, I can seem to get anything out of the metered prism. I don't have a manual for it, and want to make sure it works before I keep the camera. I can't see anything being metered, lights of any kind, as if it were an unmetered prism. It has the switches and everthing like the metered prisms. What should I be seeing, and how to I tell if this thing operates properly? Are there any camera settings to make it operate that I am unaware of?<br> I would really appreciate your help on this. I would like to get it resolved with the seller as soon as possible.<br> Terry</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim_ludwig2 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 <p>You may be able to download the manual at www.butkus.org<br>Have you checked to be sure that the battery is fresh, or that it is even there?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djcphoto Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 <p>Yeah, check the battery (in the body; the metered prism draws it's power from there). Also, you have to make sure the shutter speed dial on the body is set to auto. I don't have my RZ here right now, but I think it's a green dot on the speed dial, or something like that. And obviously make sure the prism is turned on!<br /> <br /> Oh, and clean the gold contacts where the prism interfaces with the body.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enrico_pocopagni1 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 <p>Hello Terry,<br>you'll see red lighting numbers at both side of the viewfinder. Times at left, exposure at right. Outside the metering prism there's nothing to see.<br>Enrico</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry_evans3 Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 <p>Thanks everyone. I did find the manual, which showed me the exact settings for the body and prism. It works great now. Again, thanks.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
