( ): Indicates degree of exposure compensation needed (Center- Weighted metering only). For F6 cameras, compensate by selecting “Other screen” in Custom Setting “b6: Screen comp.“ and setting the EV level to -2.0 to +2.0 in 0.5 EV steps. When using screens other than type B or E, “Other screen” must be selected even when the required compensation value is “0” (no compensation required). For F5 cameras, compensate using Custom Setting #18 on the camera body. For F4-Series cameras, compensate using the Exposure Compensation Dial for the focusing screen.

See instruction manual of the camera body for more details. Blank box means not applicable. Since type M screen can be used for both macrophotography at a magnification ratio of 1:1 or above and for photomicrography, it has different applications than other screens.

Note:

•For F5 cameras, only EC-B, EC-E, B, E, J, A, L focusing screens are usable in Matrix Metering.

•When using the B and E focusing screens in cameras other than those listed above, refer to the columns for the B and E screens.
