* However, settings
for'ISO6
film sensitivity are
only from 0
to

from

If the exposure
compensation
dial
is set to another
value than
"0",
the
+/- indicator
inside the
finder will
light to show that
exposure
is
being
compensated.
;t Ordinarily,
the exposure composition
dial
is set to
"0". After
taking
pictures,
don't
forget to return the
exposure compensation
dial to
"0".

* When a bright
background
occupies
most of the
picture
such as
when a
picture is taken against backlight,
under a
bright sky or
near a
window, the
people
who are subjects
will be underexposed
and
may appear
as dark silhouettes.
For
pictures such as these,
increase the amount
of exposure
by
placing
compensation
between
+1/3 to +2EV.
You can also use this
feature
in
taking
pictures
where
you want to intentionally
increase exposure such
as
in
giving
a bright
finish to the entire
picture
or the dark
sections
of
a building
with strong contrasts
between dark
and
light.
J< When
you have a dark background
such as
people posed
against
a
black backdrop
or when they are
illuminated by
a spotlight,
the
people will be overexposed
and appear
whitish. For these
pictures,
set
the exposure compensation
to
-ll3
to
-2EV
to
reduce
exposure.
You can use this
feature in taking
pictures
where
you
want to
intentionally decrease exposure
such as
in
giving
a dark
finish to the
entire
picture or creating a sccne of
the background
with
sky
emphasized.
* When it is difficult to
determine
what
the
exposure should
be,
we recommend
taking a
number of
pictures with
the exposure
quantity
changed
in one-third
steps negative and
positive
for
each one.
2)
Using the
AE
lock
(Fig.
31)
This is the
method of exposure compensation
used during
focus
priority
AE
photography
(Fig.
23). Use
this when
you want to fix
exposure such as
when taking consecutive
pictures
at
fixed
exposure
of moving subjects
or subjects against
backlight.

Pressing
the shutter

button is
pressed halfway down. Releasing
the
finger holding the
button
halfway down
clears the AE
lock.
;t When consecutive
pictures are taken, and
the AE
lock is
preset
to a certain
subject brightness,
pictures can be taken
with the
same
exposure
with no effect from
changes
in
background.

If the
alarm
for
being
outside the
exposure
linked range
is
given
when an attempt
is made to
AE-lock the camera,
it cannot
be
