also use the system when you wish to create a deliberate effect of over (or under) exposure.

1.Turn the Film Exposure Adjustment Dial to set the required number against the Exposure Adjustment Index Line.

[NOTE: from Mike B. - Always bracket if you need the shot. Expose a frame over-exposed then another under-exposed and then one the correct exposure according to the meter. This exposure adjustment is tricky and remember to turn the exposure adjustment setting back to 0 (zero) when needed for normal metering. What you are doing is metering, but making the meter think it is darker then it really is and giving the film more light with the + and less light when you set it to a - number]
