>The literature that came with the TC-301 said that with the F-5 and DP-30/EC-B finder/screen (the standard configuration) to use +1 exposure compensation via Custom setting 18 rather than use the camera's normal compensation setting. What difference if any does it make? The F5's various meters are in different places (body and prism). If you set general exposure compensation, you impact all the metering modes, if you set via the custom function, you only impact the metering modes that are in the prism (and thus affected by the screen).
