As the indicator moves to the left, it is a sign that you will be underexposing (there is not enough light on the sensor to provide adequate exposure). A proper exposure will line up with the arrow mark in the middle. The exposure information is displayed by a scale with marks that run from –2 to +2 stops.
While the meter is activated, use your thumb to roll the Command dial left and right to change your shutter speed value until the exposure mark is lined up with the zero mark.View the exposure information in the bottom area of the viewfinder or by looking at the display panel on the rear of the camera.Point the camera at your subject and then activate the camera meter by depressing the shutter button halfway.
