Hey guys and girls,

I have an external light meter, but when I use it it gives me an f/stop that my camera canĂ¢€™t do; I'm used to using my in camera meter so this is a little new for me.

My question is, how do I compensate for the f/stop.

It's a Polaris flash meter if that matters.

Thanks,

Raise or lower your ISO, speed up or slow down your shutter speed. Either will compensate for F too high or low depending on what you want to achieve. You do realize your F-stop is limited by your lens, yes? If you can't get a smaller F-stop, try higher ISO.
