Olympus zm2000qdk, OM-2 manual Exposure Compensation for Automatic Measurement

EXPOSURE COMPENSATION FOR AUTOMATIC MEASUREMENT

If you wish to change the exposure setting auto- matically selected by the camera, use the exposure compensation dial and a compensation marker appears in the viewfinder.

When the main subject is much darker than the general background or when strong light strikes the subject from behind or from the side, turn the dial to the (+) side.

Turn the camera to the subject so that the subject fills most of the viewfinder, or move the camera toward the subject. After reading the shutter speed, return to the original position and rotate the compensation dial until the meter needle points at the read-out speed in the finder.

NOTE: In such a case it is recommended to turn the compensation dial to the + 1 side.

When taking a picture of a bright subject against a dark background (spotlightng, deep shadows, etc.), turn the compensation dial to the (—) side. Move forward until the subject fills as much of the viewfinder as possible, (with a zoom lens, you may be able to do this by zooming in on the sub- ject without chaning your positions). After noting the shutter speed indicated by the meter needle, return to your original position, recompose the picture, and turn the compensation dial until the shutter speed needle indicates the speed ob- tained from your close-up meter reading.
