Note:
• The differential (ranging from –3.0 to +3.0) between the exposure
determined by the currently selected aperture and shutter speed
compared to the exposure level considered optimal by the camera
appears in the upper right-hand corner of the LCD monitor.
• If the exposure compensation value is lower than –3.0 or higher than
+3.0, the indication will turn red.
• Manual settings are valid only when the Manual mode is selected.
• Unless OFF is selected in All Reset, the setting will be canceled when the
power is turned off. (p. 194)
