EXPOSURE COMPENSATION
Matrix Metering provides the main subject with correct expo- sure in virtually any lighting situation, without having to use manual exposure compensation. But in Center-Weighted Metering, for situations where you want to change composi- tions or for unusual situations such as snowscapes, backlit subjects or when the main subject contrasts sharply with the background, exposure compensation is recommended. Also, in Matrix Metering, "correct" exposure is a value based on a combination of film sensitivity, aperture and shutter speed necessary to produce a "technically correct" exposure result. We often want to vary the exposure results to create different versions of the same picture or put creative emphasis on a specific part of the picture. This is accomplished by using exposure compensation.
Exposure compensation can be accomplished in either one or a combination of the following ways.
•AE (Auto Exposure) Lock Lever
•Exposure Compensation Button
•Auto Exposure Bracketing
As the results can vary depending on conditions, you may want to experiment with each method.
AE (AUTO EXPOSURE) LOCK LEVER
In auto exposure mode with Center-Weighted Metering, when you want to control exposure based on a particular brightness area of the scene, use the AE lock lever.
