About Metering System and Exposure
Metering systems and exposure are important factors for taking pictures. Knowing the characteristics of each factor helps you widen your photographic expression.
•Metering System
As the proper combination of shutter speed and aperture for correct exposure is determined according to subject brightness and film sensitivity, measuring subject brightness is very important.
In general, brightness inside the viewfinder is not uniform. The F80/F80D/F80S provides three metering systems: Matrix Metering,
•Exposure
Light from the subject passes through the lens and exposes the film. Shutter speed and aperture control how much light reaches the film. The combination of shutter speed and aperture appropriate for subject brightness and film sensitivity results in correct
When a highly reflective or very low reflective object is within a frame, correct exposure may not be obtained. In such situations, exposure compensation is required. The F80/F80D/F80S offers auto exposure lock (page 58), exposure compensation (page 60) or Auto Exposure Bracketing function (page 61) allowing a photographer greater control of exposure than that afforded by Auto exposure modes.
