Exposure Compensation
This camera features a program AE function that automati-
cally changes shutter speed and aperture in accordance with
available light. In addition, you can also manually adjust the
exposure to compensate for backlighting, indirect indoor
lighting, dark backgrounds, and other special conditions.
• Press DISP to turn on the monitor screen (page E-28).
1.
Use [ 왘 ] and [ 왗 ] to perform exposure compen-
sation.
• Pressing [ 왘 ] or [ 왗 ] displays an EV indicator that
shows the current exposure compensation setting.
• Pressing [ 왘 ] makes the image on the monitor screen
brighter. Use it to adjust for dim indoor lighting and
backlighting.
• Pressing [ 왗 ] makes the image on the monitor screen
darker. Use it to adjust for bright sunlight.
• The EV indicator turns red whenever the compensa-
tion value is at its limit.
2.
After adjusting the exposure, press the shutter
button to record the image.
NOTES
• Exposure compensation is generally expressed in
terms of an exposure compensation (EV) value. The
exposure compensation value is always set to zero
whenever you turn on the camera.
• Each press of [ 왘 ] or [ 왗 ] changes the exposure com-
pensation value by 1/3EV. A change in either direction
is indicated on the monitor screen by arrows pointing
left (negative correction) or right (positive correction).
• The normal maximum range for exposure compensa-
tion is –2EV to +2EV. Under certain conditions, how-
ever, the camera may impose lower maximum values
when exposure compensation would result in an im-
age that is too dark or too light.
