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 or Spot Metering, for situations where you want to

change compositions or for unusual situations such as

snowscapes, backlit subjects or when the main subject con

trasts sharply with the background, exposure compensation is

recommendecf.

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 aeative emphasis on a

specific 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.
