Exposure in Difficult Lighting: The exposure compensation dial does not function with the manual exposure system because exposure factors may be employed freely by varying the aperture or shutter speed setting as desired. Generally, for backlit subjects, open the aperture 1 or 2 additional stops, or decrease the shutter speed 1 or 2 stops. With spotlighted and other intensely lit subjects, either stop the aperture down 1 or 2 stops, or incr3ase the shutter speed 1 or 2 additional stops. Accordingly, either the "OVER" or "UNDER" LED will remain lit while exposure factors are being employed. (NOTE: With the TTL metering system, filter, close-up and other such exposure factors are automatically compensated for by the built-in exposure meter.) 24*
