EXPOSURE COMPENSATION
Matrix Metering provides the main subject with correct expo
sure in virtually any lighting situation, without having to use
manual exposure compensation. But in Center-Weighted
Metering, for situations where you want to change composi
tions or for unusual situations such as snowscapes, backlit
subjects or when the main subject contrasts sharply with the
background, exposure compensation is recommended.
Also, in Matrix Metering, “correct” exposure is a value based
on a combination of film sensitivity, aperture and shutter speed
necessary to produce a “technically correct” exposure result.
We often want to vary the exposure results to create different
versions of the same picture or put creative emphasis on a
specitic part of the picture. This is accomplished by using
exposure compensation.
Exposure compensation can be accomplished in either one or
a combination of the following ways.
• AE (Auto Exposure) Lock Lever
• Exposure Compensation Button
• Auto Exposure Bracketing
As the results can vary depending on conditions, you may
want to experiment with each method.
