In this article, we will introduce the exposure compensation dial of a manual focus film SLR camera released in 1979 under the Asahi Optics Pentax brand.



PENTAX ME Super (Reference product)


The exposure compensation dial is located below the film rewind handle and doubles as a film compensation dial.


There are five different correction values.
On a black base color plate, the five correction values are represented by orange-colored and white-colored letters.
1/4x, 1/2x, 2x, and 4x are orange-colored, and 1x is white-colored.


To select a value, turn the side of the dial as it is and align it with the red-colored triangular system indicator.


The exposure compensation dial is easy to turn.
