Duplication
Work
and
Photomicrography
In
copy work,
slide duplication,
and
photomicrography,
you
cannot obtain correct
exposure by
simply
referring
to the FE2's
exposure
meter display
because these types
of
photography
represent
unusual contrast
situations.
Exposure
compensation
is required.
Shown here is
the
table
of the relationship
between
specific
photo
types and
proper
exposure. Since this is meant
to
be a
guide,
in
practice
you
should
make
further
compensation
by experimentation until
you
achieve the
proper
results.
r
The exposure compensation
values listed
below are ieference
data
obtained
when
general-purpose
film was
used. With
color
reversal
film
or
microfilm for
duplication work, it is
advisable
to
take additional
shots with
-r
one-stop
exposure compensation
as these films have very
small exposure latitude.
o
To avoid
vibration,
you
can make
the exposure by turning the
illumination
on and off .
o
lt is
advisable
to use a
cable
release
to avoid camera vibration.

For high-contrast
subjects, use
of an
1B%
reflectance
gray
card in
determining exposure
is recommended.
With
the card. no exoosure

is
required
regardless
