EXPOSURE COMPENSATION ADJUSTMENTS

Some exposure correction may be necessary when cer­
tain types of films are used for copying or photomicro­
graphy applications; the amount of correction required,
however, will depend on the type of film and the spe­
cific application. The following table lists the exposure

corrections in f/stops required for various film/shooting

requirements. Compensation is possible by adjusting the

shutter speed or the aperture by the indicated^amount;
also, compensation is possible by adjusting the exposure

compensation ring provided for this purpose. To adjust
the ring, simply lift and turn it until the index mark is
aligned with the value corresponding to the amount of

compensation. In the example shown, the red dot on the
ring is set to the +1 position, as required when perform­
ing photomicrography using Panchromatic film. Ex­

posure compensation on the FE ranges in half stops

from EV +2 to EV —2. However, when the ASA film-
speed dial is set at ASA 3200 or 4000, the compensation

ranges down to EV —1; at ASA 12, up to EV +1.
