EXPOSURE COMPENSATION
Exposure meters are calibrated to an average gray
scale value (18% reflection), which corresponds to
the brightness of a normal, i.e. average photographic
subject. If the actual subject detail does not match this
assumption, an appropriate exposure compensation
can be performed.
Particularly when taking several pictures in succession,
for instance if for any reason a series of pictures is
taken deliberately using slight under or overexposure,
exposure compensation is a very useful function: Once
set, unlike with exposure lock, it remains in effect until
(deliberately) cancelled (more details on exposure lock
can be found in the relevant section on p. 124).
On the Leica M Monochrom, exposure compensation
can be set in the range ±3EV in
1
/
3
EV increments (EV:
Exposure Value).
Setting the function
The Leica M Monochrom provides three options for
setting an exposure compensation. At the same time,
you select whether you want to make the setting using
the menu or the setting dial.
Setting using the menu is recommended if, for example,
you know before taking a series of pictures that you
want your subjects to be slightly under or overexposed.
The exceptionally fast option using the setting dial is
ideal when unexpected situations occur and enables
you to track your subject in the viewfinder without
interruptions.
A. Using the menu
1. In the picture parameters menu (see p. 97/110),
select Exposure comp. (4.2.3), and
2. the compensation value in the sub-menu.
B. Using the setting dial
1. In the main menu (see p. 97/110), select
Exp. comp.
setup
(4.1.10), and
2. then
Setting ring in the sub-menu.
3. You can set the exposure compensation by turning
the setting dial (1.29) - clockwise for positive values
and anticlockwise for negative values.
C. Using the shutter release and setting dial
1. In the main menu (see p. 97/110), select Exp. comp.
setup
(4.1.10), and
2. then
Set. ring & rel. but. in the sub-menu.
3. While holding the shutter release button (1.19) at
the first pressure point
1
you can turn the setting
dial (1.29) to set an exposure compensation for the
subsequent picture.
Regardless of how the set compensation was originally
entered:
– It remains effective until you reset it to 0 manually.
– It can be reset using either the menu or the setting
dial.
– It is displayed in the picture parameters menu in the
form of EV values, and in the viewfinder in the form of
changed shutter speeds.
