Turn the exposure compensation dial to the desired compensation value. The exposure compensation dial locks at the [ 0 ] position. To set the exposure compensation dial to a position other than the [ 0 ] position, turn the exposure compensation dial while holding down the exposure compensation dial release button. The bar graph indicates the compensation value and [ ] appear in the viewfinder. · Exposure compensation does not work in the Bulb Exposure Mode. · The exposure compensation range is -3EV to +3EV in 0. 3EV step. · The exposure compensation step can be selected from initial 0. 3EV step to 0. 5EV step with the Pentax Function No. 5. See page 79 for more details · When the 0. 5EV step is selected, two bars above the bar graph indicate a 0. 5EV step. · When exposure compensation is used in the Metered Manual Mode, the bar above the bar graph indicates under or overexposure, it is not indicating the exposure compensation value. [ ] is displayed. AUTO BRACKETING EXPOSURE MODE When you take a picture that requires exposure compensation and it may be difficult to determine the correct exposure, use this mode to make three different bracketed exposures with different exposure levels. Using the Center-Weighted Metering Mode This metering system does not automatically compensate for backlit or spotlit scenes like the Multi(6) - Segment Metering Mode. Creative exposure control is decided by the user. To use Set the metering mode selector to the [ tion. ] posi- · The metering pattern in the illustration above shows that the upper part of the pattern (in the center of the viewfinder) has more sensitivity to light than the lower part. · In this metering mode, the camera does not automatically compensate the exposure in backlit or spotlit situations like the Multi (6) - Segment Metering Mode. Creative exposure control is decided by the user. 56 1 2 ADVANCED OPERATIONS Metering area Using the Spot Metering Mode The Spot Metering Mode measures light only in the small area in the center of the viewfinder. Set the metering mode selector to [ ]. 2. Measure the small area of the viewfinder as illustrated. · If the brightness range between area in the photograph is too great, the exposure should be determined in consideration of the overall brightness. Otherwise, the picture will come out improperly exposed. USING AE LOCK 57 · As soon as the AE lock button [ AE-L ] is pressed, and the camera stores the measured exposure level for 20 seconds. The AE lock function remains while the AE lock button is depressed.
