EXPOSURE COMPENSATION
Exposure meters are calibrated for a medium gray scale value (18%
reflection), which matches a standard, i.e. average image subject.
Should the measured image detail not fulfill that requirement, then
the a relevant exposure compensation can be effected.
Specifically where several pictures are taken in sequence, for
example if for a series a slightly lesser or greater exposure is
desired for a particular reason, then exposure compensation can
be a very useful function: In contrast with the metering memory
lock, this setting remains active until it is reset.
Exposure compensation can be set in the range ±3EV in 1⁄3 EV
increments (EV: exposure value).
