Hi Bob! Welcome to FM. To read your LX-3 you just need to do a little math. If you have it set on the 20' setting, just read the dial on the outside, if it's in the 40' setting just double the outside readings, or look real hard on the inside settings. If it's in the 80' setting just multiply by 4 and so on. When it's in zoom mode, you'll have the two yellow bars on the right side of your dial which you can move anywhere in the column. The water inbetween those two bars will be the entire left side of your dial. The yellow bars will disapear after a few seconds and the entire water column will be on the right side. Hope this helps Bob. Good fishing.
