EXPOSURE AND FLASH COMPENSATION
The ambient light and flash exposure can be adjusted before the image is
captured to make the final picture lighter or darker. Exposure can be adjust-
ed by as much as ±2Ev in 1/3 increments (p. 151). The exposure and flash
compensation will remain in effect until it has been reset.
Adjustments to exposure must be set before the image is captured. When
setting exposure or flash compensation, the change in Ev is shown on the
data-panel aperture display and on the monitors. After the setting is made,
the shutter-speed and aperture displays will indicate the actual exposure. Because the shutter
speeds can be adjusted in fine steps, the same shutter speed or aperture value may be displayed
after the exposure is compensated.
