15. Exposure compensation
photography
Incorrect exposure may result when you snap the
shutter in taking pictures against backlight or
extreme differences in brightness between the
main subject and the background. At those times,
compensate for exposure. There are two methods
of exposure compensation (see Figs. 30 and 31).
1) Using the exposure compensation dial
(Fig. 30)
In both focus priority AE photography and manual
exposure photography, the standard values set for
exposure compensation are shown in the finder.
Turn exposure compensation dial 拶 to set the
index to the desired exposure value. The
exposure values can be set in steps of one-third
each from -2EV to +2EV.
★ However, settings for ISO6 film sensitivity are
only from 0 to +2EV and for ISO12 sensitivity
settings from -1 to +2EV.
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.
★ Ordinarily, the exposure composition dial is set
to “0”. After taking pictures, don't forget to return
the exposure compensation dial to “0”.
★ Compensation in focus priority AE photography
controls shutter speed.
