contrary, your subject will turn out

overexposed and light. In such cases, reduce the amount of exposure to half
r one-fourth so that it is correctly exposed.
Example:
If the camera's exposure meter indicates F4 and 1/60 sec. to get correct exposure, make compensation as
follows:
· Compensation with the Aperture Ring For 1/2X exposure compensation, turn the ring from F4 to F5.6, and
for 1/4X, to F8.
for 1/4X, to 1/250 sec.
· Compensation with the Shutter Speed Dial For 1/2X exposure compensation, turn the dial from 1/60 sec. to
1/125 sec., and
BULB EXPOSURE AND INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHY
<"B" (Bulb) Exposure>
"B
If an exposure time of 1 second or longer is required, set the Shutter Speed Dial at
" (bulb). The shutter will remain open as long as the Shutter Release Button is kept depressed. To prevent
camera shake, mount the camera on a tripod and trip the shutter with a cable release (optional).
<Infrared Photography>
To take infrared pictures with black-and-white infrared film (using a red filter), compensation is necessary
because the point of focus slightly shifts from that in normal photography. Yashica ML lenses and Zeiss lenses
are provided with an infrared compensation mark on the depth of field scale (red dot on ML lenses and red line
on Zeiss lenses). (There is no such mark on reflection type lenses because they do not require compensation).
First, focus the lens without filter as you would do normally. Then fit on a red filter and move the distance set
on the Focusing Rig opposite the infrared mark and shoot.
· If you are using color infrared film, follow the instructions packed with your film.
