Another idea I found useful with this 3 COLOR and 3 NUMBER SYSTEM is this.
First I set the cam to ALL AUTO MODE (other MODES may work as well) with a 10 POINT VALUE FINDER in front of the cam. (No Shadows are cast on it).
Then I magnify the subject (VALUE FINDER) a bit.
Next - I put my cam magnification value, (found in PURE WHITE, IN CAM SCREEN) over top VALUE 10 on the VALUE FINDER.
Then I open my EV Control and move the slider to the PLUS SIDE and try to find one that MATCHES the two WHITES EVENLY. I found that PLUS 0.3 did a VERY ACCURATE MATCH of the WHITES.
Then I use the PLUS 0.3 as my TAKING EV for my scenes.
