I've been using the Zonemaster II for a couple years and am pretty familiar with the full calibration process, but I now want to do a quick approximate calibration based only on the paper data sheet. The process is pretty straight forward and simple, but I'm confused by a table on the last page of the ZoneMaster II Calibration Manual.

You can see it here at the top left (Page 12, step 5):

As you can see, no correction is required for ISO 200 paper, but +9 steps of correction are required for ISO 100. Since the exposure values in the Zonemaster are adjusted in 1/12 stop increments and the difference between ISO 200 and 100 is a full stop, shouldn't the correction factor be +12 instead of +9?

Perhaps if the calibration method was based on ISO speed. Is it?
