Exposure Compensation
The 1 Button
Alter the exposure from the value set by the camera to make pictures
bright or darker.
Exposure compensation can be set to values between –2.0 EV
(underexposure) and +2.0 EV (overexposure) in increments of 1/3 EV.
Press
≤/≥ on the Multi selector while holding the 1 button.
By default, the camera “remembers” the exposure-compensation value restoring
it the next time the mode dial is set to
å. If desired, exposure compensation
can be set to return to ±0.0 EV when the mode dial is turned to a new setting
or the camera is turned off.
