%XPOSURE METERING BY MEASUREMENT OF SUBJECT BRIGHTNESS IS BASED ON THE
ASSUMPTION OF A SUBJECT WITH AVERAGE REÚECTANCE 7HEN THE NATURE OF THE
SUBJECT DEVIATES CONSIDERABLY FROM THIS NORMAL SITUATION COMPENSATION
OF THE MEASURED EXPOSURE BECOMES NECESSARY &OR EXAMPLE WHEN LARGE
PARTS OF THE SUBJECT ARE VERY BRIGHT A COMPENSATION IS REQUIRED WHEN
LARGE PARTS OF THE SUBJECT ARE DOMINATED BY DARK TONES A COMPEN
SATION IS REQUIRED FOR A CORRECTLY EXPOSED IMAGE %SPECIALLY WHEN USING
POSITIVE SLIDE ÙLM THE TECHNICALLY CORRECT EXPOSURE IS NOT NECESSARILY THE
BEST EXPOSURE ACCORDING TO THE TASTE OF THE PHOTOGRAPHER 4HEREFORE THIS
CAMERA IS EQUIPPED WITH AN EXPOSURE COMPENSATION MODE
7ITH HELP OF THE EXPOSURE COMPENSATION MODE YOU CAN USE A DIFFERENT
EXPOSURE VALUE THAN THE ONE THAT APERTURE PRIORITY HAS DETERMINED
AUTOMATICALLY
9OU CAN CHANGE THE VALUE TO EITHER BRIGHTER COMPENSATION OR DARKER
COMPENSATION
4HE AMOUNT YOU CAN COMPENSATE FOR IS STEPS BY STEP INCREMENTS
3ET THE m!n INDICATOR ON THE 3HUTTER 3PEED 2ING TO THE DESIRED VALUE OF
COMPENSATION
7HEN THE EXPOSURE COMPENSATION MODE IS ACTIVE THE INDICATOR ,%$ OF
THE COMPENSATED SHUTTER SPEED WILL BLINK SLOWLY
