Exposure Compensation Value

in the camera’s memory even after the camera is turned off, and reapplied the next time A (auto)
mode or B (high sensitivity) mode is selected.

Using Exposure Compensation
• The camera tends to lower exposure when the frame is dominated by brightly lit objects (for example, sunlit
expanses of water, sand, or snow) or when the background is much brighter than the main subject.
• Negative compensation may be called for when large areas of the frame contain very dark objects (for
example, a swath of dark green leaves) or when the background is much darker than the main subject.
