/ Exposure Compensation
To modify exposure control (i.e. from the ISO standard), use the Exposure
Compensation function. This can be useful when intentionally achieving
under or overexposure to obtain a specific photographic effect.

Exposure mode with Exposure Compensation
Exposure Compensation can be set in P (Auto-Multi Program), S (Shutter-
Priority Auto), A (Aperture-Priority Auto) and Vari-Program. Once the Exposure
Compensation is set in each P, S or A exposure mode, compensation remains
in that exposure mode. Changing the exposure mode to M, iSi AUTO or Vari-
Program temporarily cancels the compensation. Exposure Compensation set in
Vari-Program is canceled when exposure mode is changed. The Exposure
Compensation cannot be set in iSi AUTO or M exposure mode.

Command Dial while pressing the © button to reset
the compensation value to D.C. In Vari-Program,
changing the exposure mode also cancels the
Exposure Compensation. (Turning the power switch
off does not cancel the Exposure Compensation.)
