picture is going to be underexposed or overexposed. If

EXPOSURE COMPENSATION If you are shooting under adverse lighting conditions (against the light, etc.), or if you want to take high key pictures (intentional overexposure) or low-key pictures (intentional underexposure), or if you are shooting some special type of subject, use the Fractional Exposure Control. (Fig. 26) · To make intentional overexposures, just press in the Fractional Exposure Control Lock and turn the control dial to the right (clockwise); to make intentional underexposures, turn it to the left (counterclockwise).View original page 19

PROGRAM.
(4) Exposure compensation
This is the way to do it (Fig. 27): To take multiple-exposure pictures, you may have to use
exposure compensation depending on your subject and
the number of times you are exposing the same frame. If
you are exposing two different brightly lit scenes or the
same scene twice on the same frame set the Fractional
Exposure Control to -1, and if you are superimposing the
scenes just mentioned four times on the same frame,
set it to -2.
· Exposure compensation is not necessary if you are
superimposing a person's face on a nighttime fireworks
scene or any other night scene.
