Alternatively, you can also pre-set the initial zone reading in order<br />
to save time and effort where there is no freely available ‘zone 5’<br />
subject for light measuring. For example, you might be on a sandy<br />
beach where you know that sand is normally classified as zone 6.<br />
You can pre-programme the zone placement by holding down<br />
the AE-L button while choosing the new zone value and turning<br />
the front control wheel until zone 6 appears. Pointing the camera<br />
at other parts of the scene will now display their zone values (in<br />
relation to the initial setting of sand at zone 6) to see whether they<br />
still lie within the range of the film and how they might appear<br />
in the result (apart from film development considerations). See<br />
under Zone in the Appendix for further information about the<br />
zone system.<br />
Exposure compensation<br />
The exposure compensation facility, for both manual and automatic<br />
modes can be set from -5 to +5 EV, in 1/3 EV increments. This<br />
facility will adjust the exposures by the set amount until changed<br />
and the setting is visible above the scale in the viewfinder and as<br />
a ± symbol on the grip LCD.<br />
To make a fixed exposure compensation setting, proceed as follows<br />
with the camera in active mode:<br />
1) Press the +/- button on the viewfinder.<br />
2) Turn either the front or rear control wheels to increase or decrease<br />
the amount of compensation in 1/3 EV steps.<br />
3) The amount is displayed in the viewfinder as both an EV figure<br />
complete with a ‘minus’ or ‘plus’ prefix (A in illustration) , and<br />
as a marker above a ‘minus’ to ‘plus’ scale with a central index<br />
signifying zero compensation (B in illustration).<br />
4) Press Save (DRIVE button) to retain the setting.<br />
5) A ‘±’ symbol is then displayed between the aperture and shutter<br />
speed setting as confirmation of the setting.
