Exposure Compensation with dedicated flash units:
In addition to the standard AE modes, exposure compensation may also be employed for flash photography
with the Mamiyalite MZ 36R and MZ 18R dedicated flash units.
Besides the exposure variation dial, there's also another method of insuring compensate exposures with the
exposure memory button. This method permits you to make a direct light reading without guesswork. The
exposure memory button may be used to compensate exposures with any AE mode.
Direct reading of the subject:
Walk up directly to your subject and make an exposure reading of the subject or part of the subject you wish to
emphasize by pressing the shutter button partway. Next, without leaving go of the shutter button, press the
exposure memory button to lock the exposure reading on your subject. Keeping the shutter button depressed
partway (you may leave go of She exposure memory button) walk back to the spot where you wish to take the
photo, focus and press the shutter button the rest of the way to take the photo.

Manual Exposures
The manual exposure mode of the ZE-X permits free selection of both aperture and shutter speed to give you
full command of the camera when required for special effects and creative photography. Manual exposures with
the ZE-X are non-metered. Set both the aperture ring and shutter speed dial to the desired aperture and shutter
speed settings. Make sure the exposure variation dial is set to "O" (this doesn't function for manual operation).
While the camera controls are set for manual, an "M" will appear inside the viewfinder to inform you; no other
indications are given.
When the shutter speed dial is set at "B" the shutter will remain open as long as the shutter button is depressed.
The aperture must be set manually. An "M" will appear in the viewfinder when you press the shutter button
partway.
