CF: Set Using Aperture Ring to Permitted
Mode Selector: Set exposure to M

Set aperture to desired value with the ring.With the meter activated,  
press the AE-Lock button. Lens will stop down briefly, a reading will  
be taken, the shutter speed will be set to match and the meter  
reading will be set to the 0.0 point. It's very quick and convenient.

Holding the camera on target and activating the DoF preview at this  
point will allow you to fine tune the setting with a +/-2 EV readout.
