In some situations, you may get better results if you manually compensate (adjust) the
exposure value set automatically by the camera. In many cases, bright subjects (such as
snow) will turn out darker than their natural colors. Adjusting toward + makes these subjects
closer to their real shades. For the same reason, adjust toward – when shooting dark
subjects. The exposure can be adjusted in a range of ±5.0 EV.
• The exposure compensation indicator is displayed. The exposure compensation indicator
will not be displayed when the exposure is compensated by 0.
• If the exposure compensation value exceeds the scale of the exposure compensation
indicator, the indicator will blink in the viewfinder and on the control panel. A red vw is
displayed on the left and right edges of the indicator on the super control panel.
