–2.0Ev –1.0Ev Metered exposure
Exposure compensation is used when the camera’s exposure
meter is deceived by high-key or low-key subjects. For example, a
very bright scene, such as a snowy landscape or a white sandy
beach, can appear too dark in the final image. Before taking the
picture, adjusting the exposure by +1 or +2 EV will result in an
image with normal tonal values.
In the example above, the dark water caused the camera to
overexpose the image making it bright and washed-out. By
compensating the exposure, detail is brought out in the leaves, and
the stones and water appear richer.
We believe innovation and creativity is the cornerstone of our success.
The Electro-zoom X was an exercise in camera design and was unveiled
at Photokina in 1966.
The Electro-zoom X is an aperture-priority
SLR with a built-in 30 - 120mm f/3.5 zoom lens.
It took twenty 12 X 17mm images on a roll of
16mm film. The shutter button and battery
chamber are located in the grip. Only a few
prototypes were built making it one of Minolta’s
rarest camera.
