Exposure compensation dial
Another way to correct exposure is to use this dial. Push the locking button while rotating the dial. The dial
is graduated in one-third stop increments. - 1 and - 2 indicate one and two stops underexposure, whereas + 1 and
+ 2 indicate one and two stops overexposure.
At ASA 6400, the compensation extends to only - 1; at ASA 12, up to + 1. The following table indicates the
recommended settings for various subjects. After use, make sure you set the dial back to "0."
