For example, with a subject located 0.5m (1.6 ft) away using ISO 100
film, this is how you would calculate the aperture:
* An aperture of f/8 is suggested. We recommend using the smallest

With a very light or dark-toned subject, you may not obtain a
correct exposure due to the subject's reflection factor. Use
exposure compensation to ensure correct exposure.
