EXPOSURE COMPENSATION FOR AUTOMATIC MEASUREMENT
If you wish to change the exposure setting auto-
matically selected by the camera, use the exposure
compensation dial and a compensation marker
appears in the viewfinder.
When the main subject is much darker than the
general background or when strong light strikes
the subject from behind or from the side, turn
the dial to the (+) side.
Turn the camera to the subject so that the subject
fills most of the viewfinder, or move the camera
toward the subject. After reading the shutter
speed, return to the original position and rotate
the compensation dial until the meter needle
points at the read-out speed in the finder.
NOTE:
In
such
a
case
it is
recommended
to
turn
the compensation dial to the + 1 side.
When taking a picture of a bright subject against
a dark background (spotlightng, deep shadows,
etc.), turn the compensation dial to the (—) side.
Move forward until the subject fills as much of
the viewfinder as possible, (with a zoom lens, you
may be able to do this by zooming in on the sub-
ject without chaning your positions). After
noting the shutter speed indicated by the meter
needle, return to your original position, recompose
the picture, and turn the compensation dial until
the shutter speed needle indicates the speed ob-
tained from your close-up meter reading.
