( ): Indicates degree of exposure compensation needed (center-weighted

Kr

metering only). For F6 cameras, compensate by selecting “Other screen“ in

Custom Setting “b6: Screen comp.“ and setting the EV level to -2.0 to +2.0

in 0.5 EV steps. When using screens other than type B or E, “Other screen“

must be selected even when the required compensation value is “0“ (no

compensation required). For F5 cameras, compensate using Custom Setting

#18 on the camera body. See user’s manual of the camera body for more

details.

Blank box means not applicable. Since type M screen can be used for

both macro photography at a magnification ratio of 1:1 or above and for

photomicrography, it has different applications than other screens.

Important

• For F5 cameras, only EC-B, EC-E, B, E, J, A, L focusing screens are usable in

Matrix Metering.
