Tips for Better Results
* Do not make an exposure setting by pressing Depth of Field Preview Button (18) or turning Battery Check
Ring (14) because these will incorrectly influence the meter's reading.
EXPOSURE COMPENSATION DIAL
The dial is used when exposure compensation (intentional over- or under-exposure) is necessary in
AUTOMATIC EXPOSURE operation. In unusual lighting conditions, the desired effect or the correct exposure
will not be obtained in the final picture and exposure compensation is necessary.
* Lift up the outer ring of Exposure Compensation Dial (3) and rotate it until the index line on the ring is
opposite the corresponding number (+2. +1. - 1. - 2) and click stops
(Fig. 26)
.
When the light is behind the subjects Set the dial at + 1 or +2. Spot-lighted subjects and dark backgrounds Set
the dial at -1 or -2.
Tips for Better Results
* When exposure compensation is unnecessary, be sure to set Exposure Compensation
Dial (3) at "0''.
* Do not set Exposure Compensation Dial (3) between marked numbers, but at a click stop in accordance with
indicated numbers only.
VlEWING AND FOCUSING
Since you are viewing through the lens, there is no parallax problem.....
What you are viewing in the viewfinder will exactly appear in your picture. This enables you to determine the
exact composition of your subject before pressing Shutter Release Button ( 11). Even when you shoot close-ups,
there is no danger of accidentally cutting off a portion of your subject. To assure the sharpest possible pictures,
your XR-2s has a three way focusing screen with diagonal Split-image Spot (47), Microprism-image Band (46)
and Fresnel field, and you can select three way focusing according to your subject.
1. Look into Viewfinder Eyepiece (30) to compose your picture.
2. Split-image Focusing is helpful for the subject with either vertical or horizontal lines.
Rotate Focusing Ring (21) until the split image in Split-image Spot (47) forms a single image. When it is out of
focus, your
subject is split into two parts
(Fig. 27)
