another stupid question...

On my Bronica etr-c there is a series of numbers next to the ASA dial on the prism viewfinder - 2 1x 1 1/2 - is this todo with bracketing?

here is a picture I googled of the prism...

I would presume so. Can't think of any other reason they would be there.

If your camera has an auto setting for exposure, that is for bracketing. If not, don't know why it would be there.

Is it perhaps EV exposure compensation value?

Well, Im not sure, it has an option that gives me auto and manual for exposure - but there is no ttl meter so I cant see what use it would be. Im just worried that it is somehow altering my shutter speed without me taking that into account...
