You get the measured shutter speed in the viewfinder, then have to set
the shutter dial to that speed. Ok, but the speed dial setting does not
appear in the viewfinder, so you have to take the camera down to see the
shutter speed setting. Of course you can remember your shutter speed
setting and then set the aperture to get the matching measured speed.
Still not very practical IMO and definitely not something that promotes
manual mode to someone learning photography.
