Exposure
Exposure is the amount of light that the camera will receive when you release the shutter. The
exposure is automatically set to the proper value in the auto adjustment mode. However, you
can set the exposure to your desired setting in the following setup.
You can manually shift the exposure value determined by the camera. Use this mode when
you brighten or darken the overall screen.
1 Press the (Exposure) button to display the Exposure comp. screen.
2 Adjust the exposure with b/B on the multi-selector.
• You can substitute the Fn (Function) button for the (Exposure) button (page 30).
• The exposure is compensated by 1/3 of a step between ±3.0 EV. You can set this exposure step to 1/2 EV
increments with [Exposure step] in the Recording menu (page 98).
