Exposure factor

The f-number of a lens indicates brightness of the image formed by the

Jp

lens set at “infinity” shooting distance. The greater the reproduction ratio,

the more image brightness decreases. The actual brightness of the image

En

is called the “effective f-number,” and the exposure compensation value

for the change of the effective f-number is called the “exposure factor.”

De

Effective f-number variation (P. 148)

With this lens, the greater the reproduction ratio (the shorter the

Fr

shooting distance), the more the brightness of the image projected onto

the image sensor decreases and the more the effective f-number

Es

increases (the amount of light passing through the lens’ aperture

decreases). This variation is automatically compensated for by the

Sv

camera’s exposure meter, so the user can determine exposure or operate

TTL flash shooting without having to consider the exposure factor.

Ru

The f-number displayed in the camera’s LCD panel or viewfinder is the

value automatically compensated.
