Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to meter the
exposure multiple times.
When you press the
4
button after
metering the exposure, the first (
!
) and
second (
#
) metering results appear on the
scale.

: Current exposure value (EV)
The first metered value is saved regardless of the number of times you
meter the exposure. The third metered value, and all metered values
thereafter, overwrite the second metered value and are saved.
Press the
i
button to delete all metered values, including the first
metered value, from the memory. You can start the exposure metering
process again.
Press the four-way controller (
45
) while the first and second metered
values (or one thereafter) appear on the EV scale to increase or
decrease the EV (which represents the standard combination of
aperture and shutter speed) in one-half or one-third increments. (Refer
to p.169 for instructions on selecting the Exposure Step for increasing
and decreasing the EV.) Use this operation to set the EV and then press
the
4
button again. The combination of aperture and shutter speed
corresponding to that EV appears (the screen display changes to that in
Step 4). Next, use the four-way controller (
45
) to view the different
combinations of apertures and shutter speeds.
With this method, in addition to simply using the metered value as is, you
can also obtain a combination of aperture and shutter speed based on a
preferred EV using the first and second metered values (or one
thereafter).
