Exposure Comensation on Canon 1014 Autozoom Electric

[glutton]

Hello, I have a few questions regarding this specific camera model and certain stocks.

-Using the Canon 1014(E) Autozoom Electric, how should I compensate for both Vision 3 500t and 200t?

-Firstly, I'm under the impression that 500t will be read as 400t on my specific camera model, is this correct?

-Second, I'm under the (uncertain) impression that 200t will be read as either 160t or 250t, which is correct if any?

-Third, is my 85 filter automatically engaged with these tungsten stocks or not?

-And finally, let's say I'm correct in my assumption of 500t being read as 400t (tell me if I'm wrong please!), one quick n' dirty solution seems to be to take the reading in full auto mode and let's say I get 5.6 (trigger slightly depressed), I switch to manual aperture control and close it down to an f8 (less than 1 2/3rds, I realize)...are my calculations correct? Would this provide for a better image straight out of the camera?

- Some people suggest not compensating at all and just letting the camera read/overexpose as it will since the negative stocks are pretty forgiving, what do you think of this? I'd like to be more precise if possible.


Any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you.

I can't speak for 500T, but 200T will read as 100D. You can cut a notch in the cart to get it to read as 200T, but I never have. I just use an external filter if needed and always set exposure manually. It's OK to overexpose the stock by as much as a stop and will noticeably reduce grain at the cost of a little highlight detail.

Thanks wado1942, sincerely appreciate that. I'd like to avoid notching too, so I suppose I'll set it manually after taking a reading. Thanks again!
