Francis, I think your camera meters and exposes stepless - it only indicates the speeds rounded to the next full value. But otherwise your question is a good one. As there is no exposure compensation dial and the ISO speed is set automatically, the only remaining option would be to modify the pattern on the film canister to show a higher film speed to the camera - but that is not an everyday solution.
Anyhow - are you sure you WANT to expose 1/2 stop under? My advice would be to invest in a test roll of the film you want to use and try it out. Be sure to use the exposure lock often, i.e. whenever there are abnormal lighting conditions and try to 'balance' the lighter and darker portions that the camera sees before locking (at least that is how I do it) ... and I am sure you will get good results. Ultimately, when you start bothering about 1/2 stops you will need a different camera ;-) Regards, Sven -----Ursprungliche Nachricht----- Von: Francis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Dienstag, 15.

I, as you've probably read, have a P3n, and, as you likely know, it only meters in full stops, so, as you might have guessed, I'm wondering if that will have a significant affect on the exposure when using slid film. It wouldn't really make sense, but I've heard people talk about being sure to under expose it half a stop (which I can't do )-: ). Francis PENTAX SAMURAI
