100
The meter is displayed, lower
centre of the screen.
The scale represents the
amount of under to over
exposure with a range of plus
or minus 3 EV (f-stop).
You can see the aperture
value of f3.2 and a shutter
speed of 1/500sec, ISO 100.
Exposure meter scale
To adjust the camera to give the correct exposure with our shutter speed
set to 1 second (as illustrated below) we need to push the back control
dial inwards until the aperture numbers change to yellow, indication we
have control of the aperture setting
Here the aperture has been
adjusted to f8 and the
exposure meter is now
indicating that we are just 2/3
f-stop under exposed.
To get the 0 EV value the
aperture needs to open up to
f7.1 as shown next.
Adjusting f-stop
Here the meter is showing
perfect exposure i.e. it is at
0EV value. Unlike the semi
and automatic modes there is
no exposure compensation
control wheel. It is done by
setting the exposure meter to
the value of under or
overexposure needed by
using the aperture or shutter
control.
