E.V. (Exposure Compensation)
☞
E.V. (Exposure Compensation) ➲ Additional Information, Glossary (Page 105)
This setting allows you to lighten or darken the entire screen. Use this setting when the optimum
brightness (exposure) cannot be obtained, for example, when there is a lot of contrast between the
subject and the background or when the subject to photograph occupies only an extremely small part of
the screen. Increasing E.V. lightens the screen, while decreasing E.V. darkens the screen.
[+1.5/+1.2/+0.9/+0.6/+0.3/0 (default)/–0.3/–0.6/–0.9/–1.2/–1.5]
The ideal brightness sometimes cannot be obtained even if a large E.V. value is set in dark photographic
conditions.
Also, the brightness of moving images before they are photographed sometimes does not change if the
subject itself is dark. In this case, press the shutter button, and check the brightness in the preview
image (photographed image).
