Compensating the Exposure

Applicable modes:

Use this function when you cannot achieve appropriate exposure due to the difference in
brightness between the subject and the background. Look at the following examples.

The Exposure Compensation value can be set within a range of

j5 EV to i5 EV. When

recording motion pictures, the Exposure Compensation value can be set within a range of
j3 EV to i3 EV.

Select [0] to return to the original exposure.

Rotate the rear dial to display the [Expo.Meter].

(P166)

Note

To compensate the exposure using the function lever, set [Function Lever]

(P163)

in the [Custom]

menu to [EXP.].

When the exposure value is out of the

j3 EV to i3 EV range, the brightness of the recording

screen will no longer change. It is recommended to record by checking the actual brightness of the
recorded image in the Auto Review or playback screen.

The set exposure value is memorized even if the camera is turned off.

The compensation range of the exposure will be limited depending on the brightness of the subject.

When the aperture and shutter speed values are displayed in the screen in the Program AE Mode,
Program Shift operation and Exposure Compensation operation is switched every time the rear dial
is pressed.
