interior where a figure is standing in front of a window, for instance, or against snow, a sandy beach, silhouetted against a sky, etc, where the background is very light while a much smaller but important part of the image is comparatively much darker.

The opposite situation can also be corrected where, for example, a light coloured object is positioned in front of a very dark background. In this case an averaged TTL meter reading will suggest a reading that would produce an overexposed image. A decrease compensation of -1.5, for example, can be applied producing a background tone that was closer to the original and darkening the object to a more 'natural' tone. Similar situations might be an object placed in sunlight against a background in shadow, for example.

The amount of compensation required will differ from case to case dependant on the situation and the desired effect.

Do not forget to re-set the exposure compensation back to zero after use.

Auto-bracketing

The auto-bracketing function allows you to make a series of increased and decreased exposures in rapid succession to ensure an optimal exposure without

having to alter the settings after each exposure. This is particularly useful when using reversal film that inherently has little tolerance for exposure error. It under- and overexposes (by altering the shutter speed) using the chosen exposure setting as standard providing three separate exposures. Half or full EV step variations can be made. Proceed as follows:

1.Set the film transport mode to S or C.

2.Push the MODE button on the camLCD for 1s. Push repeatedly until an AEB and a ± symbol appear in the lower right frame on the display. Select the exposure deviation with the ▲ / ▼ buttons. Confirm by pressing MODE again or by pressing the release button halfway. An AEB symbol is shown on the display as well as the set exposure deviation. A +/- symbol is also shown on the viewLCD.

3.Determine the exposure as normal in manual or 'automatic' mode.

4.Press the shutter release button (or remote release) and keep it pressed until the three frames have been exposed.

The exposures will consecutively be: standard, under, over. They are also indicated in the camLCD as follows (assuming 0.5 EV is your choice of variation for this example):
