6.2.8 Placing a Phantom Miro Camera Into the LIVE WTR (Recording) Mode
The Exposure Index is an advanced feature, one which you may never need to use. It is an amount
by which it is possible to over or underexpose a light sensitive material and, with standard processing,
still produce acceptable results. By referring to the exposure index in the LCD display and working in
stops, you can fine tune your exposure.
Essentially it indicates the effective ISO, or sensitivity of the camera under current conditions.
STEP-BY-STEP PROCEDURE
1.
From the Power Off Display Screen:
a.
Press directly on the Exposure Index field to select the field.
b.
Pressing directly on the value a second time increases the value.
c.
Pressing approximately 1/3 the screen height above the value to decrease the value.
d.
View the live image. If the Exposure Index is too high or low the image will appear distorted.
e.
Repeat until the desired value is displayed.
