- If you use your camera's built in meter (doesn't matter whether it's
- an F3 or not) the camera will make the appropriate exposure. If this were
- not the case then the majority of zoom lenses (non-constant apeture ones)
- would not work properly with pre-Nx00x series bodies.
-
- The only reason to use the "table of correction factors" is if you use
- a handheld meter and shoot in manual exposure mode. The N8008 makes things
- easier here because the effective apeture display is the same information
- that you would get from the table.
