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

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

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.

For more details about the function of the shutter release button,

refer to the corresponding section starting on p. 110
