The following table makes it easier to see how the exposure values changes in terms
of equivalent stops when you increase or decrease the ash output. For example,
when you decrease the ash output to 1/2, 1/2-0.3, or 1/2-0.7, and the same
exposure value when you increase the ash output to more than 1/2, 1/2+0.3,
1/2+0.7, and 1/1. The relative amount from the starting value will be displayed.
