It probably wouldn't. But it's quite possible that, if
the user is trying to use the "green button" trick to meter
with older pre-A lenses stopped down to small apertures,
that the camera is being asked to meter at a light level
that falls outside the specifications of the meter cell.
Would that lead to overexposure or to underexposure?
Underexposure, from experience.
