∫ About the Exposure

The difference between the nominal F value (aperture value displayed on the camera) and the effective F

value (actual aperture value) will be greater when taking pictures using the macro function, which allows

you to take pictures of close-up subjects enlarged. When using a commercially available stand-alone

exposure meter, it is necessary to correct the value depending on the magnification and distance from the

subject. Refer to following table for the exposure correction (exposure factor).

It is not necessary to correct the difference between the nominal F value and the effective F value with the

automatic exposure of the camera, since it will determine the exposure by measuring the light coming in

through the lens.

≥ Distance is the actual distance between the recording plane ([ ] marked on the body of the digital

camera) to the subject.
