READJUSTING EXPOSURE
Use the AE dial and exposure compensation dial
to permit perfect exposure every time, even
when filming under unusual lighting conditions.
These dials also give you the creative freedom to
take advantage of varying light qualities that will
add interest to your movies.
EXPOSURE COMPENSATION DIAL
The exposure compensation dial allows you to
handle unusual lighting situations while filming in
the AE mode. Adjusted exposure is possible at
approximately one-third f-stops, to a total of one
f-stop over or below the aperture value displayed
in the viewfinder.
To find the proper amount of exposure com
pensation, compose your shot and check the f-
stop by depressing the shutter release button
half-way. Next, move close enough to fill the
viewfinder with the subject, and check the f-stop
again. The amount of compensation necessary is
the difference in value between the two f-stops.
In cases where more than one f/stop com
pensation is required, use manual exposure as
explained on pages 63 — 64.
