The calibration step typically requires three tools:

  • A 1.35-volt constant power source. 
  • A light box (constant lighting source) *Not included.
  • Metering reference (phone app or a working camera) *Not included.

Installation stage:

  1. Use a pair of tweezers to remove the cell enclosure cover.
  2. Desolder and remove the original metering cell.
  3. Secure the new metering cell to the cell enclosure. Double-sided tape or solvent-free glue is recommended.
  4. Soldering the new metering cell.
  5. Install the enclosure cover.

Calibration Stage:

  1. Choose a constant light source that is brighter than the room's current condition.
  2. Add a lens to the target camera.
  3. Set the lens to its widest aperture and the target camera's ASA to 100.
  4. Use any metering app on your phone or another camera (the reference camera) to achieve the same aperture and ISO settings.
  5. Compare the readings from the target camera and the metering reference source.
  6. Adjust the target camera's variable resistors.
  7. Repeat steps 3–6 with the lens set to its smallest aperture setting to perform low-light environment calibration.
  8. Repeat steps 3–6 with different aperture settings to ensure metering linearity is maintained.
