Using exposure compensation to adjust brightness
In P, M, and Panorama modes, you can adjust exposure compensation before you take
a picture to make your pictures darker or lighter. Only the first picture in Panorama
mode can be adjusted—that adjustment is applied to the remaining pictures.
1 Press to access the exposure compensation setting.
2 Press to decrease or to increase exposure compensation.
An exposure compensation level is shown on the LCD and the image gets darker or lighter.
3 Take the picture when you are satisfied with the exposure compensation level.
Using exposure compensation with exposure bracketing
In P and M modes, you can use exposure compensation (see page 38 ) in conjunction
with exposure bracketing to get the best exposure.
Using the histogram to view picture brightness
Use the histogram to evaluate the distribution of light before or after you take a
picture. Optimal exposure is achieved when the peak is in the middle of the
histogram. The flash may affect a picture’s light and shadow.
To turn on the histogram in Capture mode or in Review, press the Info button
until the histogram appears.
If the exposure
compensation is set to: And if the exposure bracketing
interval is set to 0.3 steps:
Then the exposures
taken are:
0.0
+1.0
–1.0
(Set the Exposure Bracketing Interval
in the Capture + menu.)
–0.3, 0.0, +0.3
+0.7, +1.0, +1.3
–1.3, –1.0, –0.7
