EXPOSURE COMPENSATION ADJUSTMENTS
Some exposure correction may be necessary when cer­
tain types of films are used for copying or photomicro­
graphy applications; the amount of correction required,
however, will depend on the type of film and the spe­
cific application. The following table lists the exposure
corrections in f/stops required for variousfilm/shooting
requirements. Compensation is possible by adjusting the
shutter speed or the aperture by the indicated amount;
also, compensation is possible by adjusting the special
ring provided for this purpose. To adjust the exposure
compensation ring, simply lift and turn it until the
index mark is aligned with the value corresponding to
the amount of compensation. In the example shown,
the index is set to the +1 position, as required when
performing photomicrography using Panchromatic
film.
