( ) : Indicates degree of exposure compensation needed (center-weighted
metering only). For F6 cameras, compensate by selecting "Other screen" in
Custom Setting "b6: Screen comp." and setting the EV level to -2.0 to +2.0
in 0.5 EV steps. When using screens other than type B or E, "Other screen"
must be selected even when the required compensation value is "0" (no
compensation required). For F5 cameras, compensate using Custom Setting
#18 on the camera body. See user's manual of the camera body for more
details.
Blank box means not applicable. Since type M screen can be used for
both macro photography at a magnification ratio of 1:1 or above and for
photomicrography, it has different applications than other screens.
Important

Matrix Metering.
