EXPOSURE COMPENSATION:
The Chinon CE-3 Memotron camera incorporates an exposure compensation dial which can be utilized for
special purposes such as bracketing exposures, compensation for back-lit or spot-lit situations. By rotating
the ASA / DIN dial as shown in the following chart you can change your exposure by plus or minus one
full F-stop (in 1/3 F-stop increments)
(Fig. 38).
1.1/2 X index 1 EV (1 F-stop) under exposure.
2. 2/3 EV (2/3 F-stop) under exposure.
3. 1/3 EV (1/3 F-stop) under exposure
(Fig. 36).
4.1 X index Correct Exposure.
5 1/3 EV (1/3 F-stop) over exposure.
6. 2/3 EV (2/3 F-stop) over exposure (Fig. 37).
7. 2 X index 1 EV (1 F-stop) over exposure.
NOTE: AFTER THE EXPOSURE HAS BEEN MADE, THE ASA NUMBER MUST BE RETURNED
TO THE 1 X INDEX MARK FOR NORMAL EXPOSURE (#4).
MANUAL EXPOSURE:
By moving the shutter speed dial off the "Auto" setting manual shutter speeds can be set. There are two
methods of selecting the correct exposure.
1. Set the required shutter speed on the dial. While depressing the shutter release button half way observe
the meter in the viewfinder. Rotate the lens aperture ring until the needle aligns with the corresponding
shutter speed figure on the scale in the viewfinder (Fig. 39).
2. Set the required aperture on the lens. Slightly depress the release button and observe which shutter speed
is indicated in the viewfinder. Set this speed on the shutter speed dial. If for special purposes it is necessary
to either under or over expose the photograph, proceed by either of the previous methods. Then rotate the
lens aperture ring to bring the meter needle above the shutter speed indicated in the viewfinder. This will
produce over exposure. Conversely if the needle is brought below the indicated shutter speed then under
exposure will result.
The Manual Shutter speeds can be used for:
