The scale (4x, 2x, lx, 1/2x, 1/4x) indicates exposure factor. You get "normal" exposure at lx, while 1/2x and 1/4x automatically program the camera to deliver one half and one fourth the amount aur of light to the film. The 2x and 4x settings automatically double and quadruple the light reaching the film. REMEMBER to set the dial at "lx" for normal exposure. 1 Use this control only when necessary to give intentional over- or under-exposures while operating on "AUTOMATIC." For example, set the dial at 4x or 2x when shooting against the light, and at 1/4x or 1 /2x when shooting against dark backgrounds. In addition, the dial can be set between the indicated positions to achieve more specific exposure control. 12•
