• To modify exposure control (i.e. from the ISO standard), use the
exposure compensation function. This can be useful when the subject
has pronounced contrast
or
when bracketing exposure with color slide
film (where the latitude
of
the proper exposure
is
minimal). You can
modify exposure control from
-3EV
to +3EV
in
1/2 steps (except
in
8'
mode and Vari-Program).
