EXPOSURE COMPENSATION

Exposure compensation is a photographic technique that enables you to vary the final exposure settings from those measured by the camera’s light meter. Nikon’s 3D Color Matrix Metering employs methods of exposure calculation that auto- matically apply exposure compensation, depending upon scene brightness, contrast, focused subject’s distance and color distri- bution of the entire frame. As a result, your subject, whether it is centered in the viewfinder or not, is given corrected exposure in most lighting situations.

We do not recommend using any manually or automatically applied exposure compensation when using 3D Color Matrix Metering. If you identify an extreme condition under which Matrix may have some difficulty, such as a severely backlit scene or one with extremes of contrast, we recommend using your camera’s other built-in meters, Center-Weighted or Spot.

Ultimately, only you know what the subject or a part of it requires in terms of exposure measurement. That’s why the F5 camera incorporates three meters plus a variety of exposure compensation systems. The photographer’s creativity is always the final deciding and controlling factor. To use the various exposure compensation functions, please refer to the following:

•Using AE-L/AF-L (Auto Exposure/Autofocus Lock) button (pages 72-73)

•To obtain meter reading for a particular subject in Manual exposure mode (pages 75-76)

•Using exposure compensation button (pages 77-78)

•Auto Exposure/Flash Exposure Bracketing (pages 79-81) Results will vary, depending on conditions, so you will want to experiment with each method.
