Nikon FG-20 - Exposure Compensation

Exposure Compensation
In the manual mode
There are two other situations in which it is difficult to
get the correct exposure even with the use of the
exposure compensation button
@. They are (1) a
front
-l it scene where the main subject is off-center
and is much brighter than the background and (2) a
strongly backlit indoor subject which usually requires
more than +2
EV exposure compensation. Therefore,
to get the correct exposure, set the FG-20 to the
manual mode
and follow this procedure:
1.
For front-lit subjects, just center the main subject.
For backlit ones, you should move in close until it
fills up the frame. (When taking a close-up meter
reading,
be careful not to cast a shadow with your
own body or the camera.)
2. Depress the shutter release button ~ halfway to M
turn on the meter and manually adjust the shutter
speed and/or aperture for correct exposure.
3. Recompose the scene as you like and take the
picture.
