I have the PAL model 160 EJ and when learning all functions in the LCD display set up I have a qustion on the Iris Meter.
I can see and understand how it works in the lower right corner of the screen as described in Barrys Book page 157 and
the 160 pdf page 34.
But the green dot showing the amaunt of over/underexpose is situated in the lower left corner!?
The green dot shows up regardless of Autoexposure or not (which it shouldn´t) and is situated in the right end of a grey bar that alters in length
simultanely with the Iris Meter (I wish I had a picture to show).

Can anyone confirm this or is it only on my cam (rather unlikely)
There is nothing about this lower left bar in the 160 pdf or in Barrys Book

How does it work and how to use it?

Regards
Aje

Are you talking about the Focus Bar focus assist in the lower left corner?

Sorry, I had mixed it all up.
I´m coming from HMC 151 so those things where new to me.

I will read your excellent book in the right order from now on!
