With the camera turned on and powered up (see
"Turning the camera on / Activating the electronics /
- the exposure metering system, p. 131), the set-
ting is made as follows:
1. Press the +/- buttons (both!) for setting the
film speed (1.35) with two fingers on your right
hand for approx. 3 s, until the numerical display
0.0 in the rear panel display (1.34) flashes.
2. Continuing to hold down the two buttons, with
the left thumb first of all slide the release for
the exposure compensation setting lever
(1.26 b) to the right, then press it up or down
along with the lever (1.26 a) to make a positive
or negative adjustment. Each press of the
lever leads to a compensation of 0.1 EV. As
soon as the +/- buttons are released, the
compensation is stored.
The set value appears in the rear panel display.
Values up to a maximum of ± 0.7 EV can be set.
Once set, a compensation value is retained even
if the camera is turned off. To reset a compensa-
tion value, e.g. + 0.4 EV, to zero, either press the
lever downwards four times or hold it in its lowest
position for approx. 2 s. To clear a negative com-
pensation value, the lever is pressed upwards.
Note:
The procedure described above must always be
followed to reset multiple field metering compen-
sation. It is not done at the same time as reset-
ting "normal" exposure compensation.
