HELPFUL HINTS
ON
EXPOSURE PROBLEMS
The
light
meter
built
into
your
K 1
000
correctly
reads
the
average
of
the
I
ight
reflected
from
the
entire
scene
as
seen
through
the
viewfi
nder
-
with
a
little
extra
importance,
or
weight,
given
to
what
is
in
the
center. Sometimes,
however,
there
is
a great
difference
between
the
light
reflected
from
the
background
and
the
I
ight
reflected
from
the
subject. In such
a
case,
to
achieve a
really
good
photo,
you
must compensate
for
the
difference
by
opening
or
closing
down
the
aperture 1
or
2 steps.
As a
general rule, when
the
subject
is
darker
than
the
background,
you
compensate
by
opening
your
aperture 1
or
2 steps
further.
For
example:
on
a
bright
day,
when
your
subject
has
his back
to
the
sun and
you
are
shooting
directly
toward
the
sun
...
or
when
you
are
shooting
a subject against snow
or
I
ight-colored
sand
...
or
when
you
are
copying
a page
of
black
letters
on
white
paper, increase
the
size
of
the
aperture
somewhat.
When
your
subject
is
brighter
than
the
back-
ground
-
if
he
is
standing in a
spotlight,
for
example -
you
make
the
aperture
1
or
2
steps
smaller
to
compensate.
