Three Ways to Correct Exposure

With the Rolleiflex, even difficult light

conditions are no problem as long as you

keep the following in mind: Is there a great

contrast in illumination between the main

subject and the rest of the picture area? On

the correct answer to this question, depends

the choice of the proper measuring method.

Normal object measurement

covers the average case: this is an evenly

illuminated subject, with front lighting or the

light partially from the side, well balanced

differences in light and shade and no heavy

shadows. (When shooting color, only front

lighting will produce the most saturated colors)

Detail measurement of the object

becomes very helpful in special cases: when

either very light or dark areas prevail and there is

a great illumination contrast between main

subject and background. Example: a sun-tanned

face in front of bright clouds - what is wanted is

correct exposure is for the head, but as camera

position measurement also includes the sky, an

average reading, resulting in under-exposure of

the face, would be obtained.

For proper measurement of detail in such cases,

move the Rollei towards object until only the

main part of subject appears in the focusing

screen. Set camera to the reading now obtained

and return to original camera position.
