used, the lens aperture can be opened by one
or two f-stops, or the shutter speed increased.
White snow under a clear sky with bright
sunlight often calls for an exposure increase of
4x, i.e. instead of the specified shutter speed
of 1/1000 s and f/8, use 1/250 s and f/8 or
1/1000 s and f/4. When photographing less
bright subjects such as a sandy beach, a
compensation factor of 2 is sufficient.
The reverse is the case for dark subjects. Note
the tips below on exposure metering.
Switching off the exposure meter
If the camera is stored in a bag or left unused
for some time, the shutter speed dial should be
set to "OFF". The exposure meter is then
switched off.
Metering diagram
Data on the metering range of the exposure
meter can be found on the right-hand side of
the diagram.
Data on the working range of the focal-plane
shutter and lenses can be seen on the left.
The exposure values (EV) are shown in the
middle.
The metering range of the exposure meter is
indicated on the right-hand side of the
diagram, in cd/m2 (candela per square metre).
The ISO film speed values (Sv) are shown at
the top of the diagram.
The different exposure times in seconds
(Tv=Time value) are shown on the left-hand
side of the diagram.
