Phase One 645 AF - Manual (Page 26)


Exposure compensation
In some situations, such as a great difference between the subject
and background brightness or overall subject tones that will not meter
correctly because they are all black or white, the resulting photograph
may be under- or overexposed. When this occurs, use the exposure
compensation function. Exposure compensation can also be used
when you want to intentionally create overexposed or underexposed
pictures.
1. When exposure compensation button A is pressed, [+/-] appears on
the external LCD. When the front or rear dial is turned counterclockwise,
the exposure is increased; conversely, when it is turned clockwise, it is
decreased. The exposure compensation value can be checked on the
external LCD or LCD inside the viewfinder.
2. After taking the pictures, press exposure compensation button A
again to return the exposure compensation value to 0.
The exposure compensation value mark on the external LCD is cleared,
and the exposure compensation function is released.
After taking pictures using the exposure compensation feature, be sure
to return the exposure compensation dial to the “0” position.
Exposure compensation is also possible during AE lock.
The shutter speed changes with exposure compensation in manual
mode (“M”).
