3. Compose the picture and shoot by depressing the Shutter Release Button the rest of the way
down. The Exposure Memory is then automatically cancelled.
16. EXPOSURE COMPENSATION SYSTEM
Depending on shooting conditions, the camera exposure setting may be affected more by the background
light than the light of the subject itself. This will result in under (or over) exposed pictures. In these
cases, you should use the Exposure Compensation system. You can also use the system when you wish
to create a deliberate effect of over (or under) exposure. You can change the exposure factor up to one
full stop either plus or minus in 1/3 EV increments. Pull out and turn the Film Speed Dial to set your
film speed to the desired exposure compensation position (Fig. 42).
(1) 1 EV over (+)
(2) 2/3 EV over - Items 1 to 3 will give you a larger aperture and will therefore lighten your pictures.
(3) 1/3 EV over
(4) Normal exposure
(5) 1/3 EV under
(6) 2/3 EV under -- These settings give you a smaller aperture and will therefore darken your pictures.
(7) 1 EV under (-)
These settings give you a larger aperture and will therefore lighten your pictures.
Be sure to set your film speed back to the normal position after use.
Exposure compensation of + 1 = One additional f-stop
