Canon F1-N manual Exposure Compensation

22 EXPOSURE COMPENSATION

1. Manual Exposure

After setting the desired shutter speed, turn the aperture ring until the aperture needle aligns with the meter needle. You can now over- or underexpose the subject in one-half f/stop increments simply by turning the aperture ring to a larger or smaller aperture. Note that the diameter of the aperture needle’s circle is equivalent to one f/stop. This method of exposure correction is useful, for example, when shooting a subject with strong backlight.
