EXPOSURE COMPENSATION
Compensation of extraneous light
Extraneous light incident through the open
folding hood is factored into the measurement
and compensated up to a ratio of extraneous-
to-metered light of approx. 16 : 1. Compensa-
tion is independent of the type of viewfinder
used.
If the viewfinder image is viewed through the
folding hood without a magnifier, the focusing
screen should be properly shaded during meter-
ing to avoid the incidence of extraneous light
(e.g. light sources, especially fluorescent lamps).
During long time exposures, the folding hood
should always be closed.
