22 EXPOSURE COMPENSAT ION
1. Manual Exposure
After setting the desired shutter speed, turn the aperture ring until the aperture
needle aligns with the meter needle. You can now over- or underexpose the subject in
one-half f/stop increments simply by turning the aperture ring to a larger or smaller
aperture. Note that the diameter of the aperture needle’s circle is equivalent to one
f/stop. This method of exposure correction is useful, for example, when shooting a
subject with strong backlight.
