Operating Procedure

Although the camera’s exposure is set automatically, you can vary it to change the
image brightness in the range of ±2 stops (to 4-times brighter or 1/4-times darker
image) in 0.5-stop steps.

Use this function to obtain correct brightness (exposure) when there is significant
contrast (difference in brightness) in the image. If you want a white object to
appear as white as possible, adjust + to increase the exposure. If you want a
black object to appear as black as possible, adjust to to decrease the exposure.
