Filters and Exposure Compensation

When using filters the exposure must be adjusted

according to the exposure factor of the filter to

be used.

Adjustment by Changing the Film Speed Dial
Setting

Divide the ASA index of the loaded film with the
exposure factor of the filter to be used. The figure

obtained is the ASA index of the film when the

filter is used. Therefore, set the film speed dial

to this ASA figure.

For example, when a Y3 (exposure factor 2) filter
is used with an ASA 100 film, the compensation

ASA number would be:

100^2 = 50. In other

words, the film speed dial should be reset at ASA

50,
