In this article, we introduced the exposure compensation dial of a Contax manual focus SLR camera released in 1987.
This camera can use auto exposure compensation, but the manual exposure compensation dial we have introduced here makes its presence felt.
The dial is very comfortable to use in the hand, with easy-to-read text.
