Changing picture brightness
In some situations, you may get better results when the exposure that the
camera sets is compensated (adjusted) manually. You can adjust the
exposure in the range of ±2.0 EV in 1/3 EV steps. When the exposure is
changed, you can check the result on the monitor.

exposure, and press Z.

or [–] to darken the image.

TIPS
• Often, bright subjects (such as snow) turn out darker than their natural colors.
Adjust toward [+] to make these subjects closer to their real shades. To prevent
the picture from getting brighter, adjust toward [–] when shooting dark subjects.
Note
• Sometimes, using the flash may not produce the brightness (exposure) that
was intended.
• The effects of exposure compensation may be limited when the surroundings
of the subject are extremely bright or dark.
