Exposure
Compensation

Exposure compensation is used to alter exposure from the value
suggested by the camera, making pictures brighter or darker. It is
most effective when used with center-weighted or spot metering
(

0 85). Choose from values between –5 EV (underexposure) and

+5 EV (overexposure) in increments of

1

/

3

EV. In general, positive

values make the subject brighter while negative values make it
darker.

To choose a value for exposure
compensation, press the

E (N/

L) button and rotate the
command dial until the desired
value is displayed in the
monitor.

Normal exposure can be restored by setting
exposure compensation to ±0. Exposure
compensation is not reset when the camera is
turned off.
