Remember the “ WESTON ” has no batteries and cannot fluctuate. The electrical energy which works the meter is provided by the light itself, which is transformed directly into electrical energy without the use of batteries or other auxiliary apparatus. This means reliability and makes the instrument proof against fluctuation. The “ WESTON ” is simple ; pointing it at the object allows the meter to show the amount of light reflected by the object, and the needle of the middle dial at once swings over to a figure showing its value By turning one scale only on the right-hand dial, the correct exposure is indicated for all lens apertures, shutter speeds, etc., for either still or cine. For use in dull light, it is only necessary to press a button, which multiplies the sensitivity of the instrument by ten.
