: Excellent focusing
: Acceptable focusing

Slight vignetting or moiré patterns appear in the viewfinder,
but not on the film.

− : Not available.
( ): Indicates degree of exposure compensation needed (Center-

Weighted metering only). For F6 cameras, compensate by
selecting “Other screen” in Custom Setting “b6: Screen comp.“
and setting the EV level to -2.0 to +2.0 in 0.5 EV steps. When
using screens other than type B or E, “Other screen” must be
selected even when the required compensation value is “0” (no
compensation required). For F5 cameras, compensate using
Custom Setting #18 on the camera body. For F4-Series cameras,
compensate using the Exposure Compensation Dial for the
focusing screen.

See instruction manual of the camera body for more details.
Blank box means not applicable. Since type M screen can be used for
both macrophotography at a magnification ratio of 1:1 or above and for
photomicrography, it has different applications than other screens.
Note:
• For F5 cameras, only EC-B, EC-E, B, E, J, A, L focusing screens are

usable in Matrix Metering.

• When using the B and E focusing screens in cameras other than

those listed above, refer to the columns for the B and E screens.
