Exposure Compensation with the <> Button

Exposure compensation can also be set with the < > button and <> dial.

Press the < > button and turn the

< > dial within ( 6 ) to set the desired exposure compensation amount.

• This is useful when you want to apply the same exposure compensation to the entire roll of film.

• To prevent the < > dial from turning inadvertently and changing the exposure compensation amount, set the < > switch to < >.
