SHADOW CONTROL
The Shadow button enables black objects to ac-
curately come out black. It is very useful for shooting
dark or blackish subjects on the whole.
After a spot metering is made on the black subject,
then press the Shadow button. The exposure value
needed for rendering it in a rich black will thus be
automatically calculated.
In the example picture, the deep shadow area beside
the dial has been inputted. As a result, the black
portion comes out "black" without being grayish. By
using this function, it is possible to express subtle
tone variations on the dark area which would be
ignored in ordinary photography because they would
appear as a dark gray without detail.
If the Shadow button is pressed again after the
"shadow control" is already activated, only the
"shadow control" is released and the camera returns
to spot metering. To reset center-weighted averaging
light metering, operate the Clear lever.
*lf the Shadow button is pressed after several spot
inputs, the exposure value for the darkest spot only
will be adjusted.
