EV value
• To cancel EV Shift, adjust the value until it becomes
0.0.
4. Press the shutter button to record the image.
IMPORTANT!
• When shooting under very dark or very bright
conditions, you may not be able to obtain satisfactory
results even after performing exposure
compensation.
NOTE
• Performing an EV shift operation while using multi-
pattern metering (page 111) will cause the metering
mode to switch automatically to center weighted
metering. Returning the EV shift value to 0.0 causes
the metering mode to change back to multi-pattern
metering.
• You can use key customization (page 106) to
configure the camera to perform exposure
compensation whenever you press [
̇] or [̈] while in
the REC mode. This comes in handy when adjusting
exposure compensation while viewing the on-screen
histogram (page 102).
