| That is a "tricky" little tool you got there! I'm not 100% certain, but it looks like the numbers that go something like 1000, 500, 250, 125, and then a mark that would be 60 are the shutter speeds? Maybe a camera buff will read this and confirm? You can actually do this same process with any camera that has a shutter priority mode by setting it on 1/60 sec. and with film speed 25 - look through the view finder at a 8.5x11 white sheet of paper at a distance that the paper just fills the viewfinder and get the same result.
note: you can get some pretty good light meters on the internet at places like ebay that read directly in footcandles - I got one for about $20 including shipping! It is an older model but works fine. Some of the members on this forum have been purchasing a digital model for around $50.
