in the scene (close to the subject) to help make matched-
density prints later. When you evaluate your results, examine
prints as well as your negatives.
Note: Work with your regular processing lab as you
optimize exposure for your equipment.

Contrast and Exposure

Lighting ratios are frequently impossible to control
effectively when you photograph subjects outdoors. When
the lighting ratio (or contrast) between the main and fill
lighting is low, additional exposure will increase contrast in
negatives and yield better prints. (This occurs because the
ISO speed is measured on the toe of a film’s characteristic
curve.) The ISO rating indicates the film’s ability to record
shadow detail, but it does not necessarily indicate the
exposure for maximum quality in every situation.
When shooting in open or deep shade with Pro 400 MC
Film, provide 2⁄3-stop more exposure than the meter reading
indicates. The increased exposure causes the scene to be
recorded above the toe in an area of higher contrast on the
film’s characteristic curve.

Adjustments for Long and Short Exposures

For Pro 100, 400, 400 MC, and 1000 Films, no filter
correction or exposure compensation is required for
exposures from 1/10,000 second to 10 seconds; for Pro 100T
Film, no adjustments are required for exposures from
1/1,000 second to 5 seconds—at longer exposure times,
exposure compensation is required (see the appropriate table
under “Film Speed”).
