Probably has to do with a capacitor charge having to leak off before giving you the higher sensitivity reading correctly. I'd say that's a normal indicatiion. Of course, my Pentax Spotmeter is older than yours. I don't think I'd worry about it unless the readings you are getting aren't giving you correct exposures.

When you are measuring light that will indicate 6 and above on your Pentax Spotmeter V and you are looking into the spotmeter viewfinder the needle comes from the right and settles on a number, 6 or above. However when you are measuring light that will read 4 or lower on the meter when you pull the on button the needle will swing all the way from the right to the left and then come up and settle on a reading 4 or below. Is this movement correct or is there something wrong with the meter damping? thanks in advance Denny B - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
