EXPOSURE COMPENSATION
If you want to intentionally overexpose or
underexpose the picture, use this function.
While pressing
button, turn the S-dial
( ) to set the desired compensation value.
Then, release the Exposure Compensation
button.
z
“0.0” will be shown in the color LCD
monitor and viewfinder display when you
initially press the exposure compensation
button. The “+” indicates overexposure,
and “–” indicates underexposure.
z Exposure compensation can be set in 1/3EV increments from +3.0 to –3.0
stops.
z For example, if you set +1.0 then the shutter speed will be one stop slower in
Aperture Priority mode. In Shutter Speed Priority mode, the aperture value will
be one-stop larger (smaller F-number). In the case of Program mode, it will be
adjusted by the shutter speed and the aperture value.
z After setting the exposure compensation, the compensated amount will be
displayed with blinking on the viewfinder display.
CAUTION !!
•
Once you set the Exposure Compensation, the camera will continuously hold
this mode, until the compensation amount is set to 0.0 value.
•
Exposure compensation function cannot be used with Manual Operation
mode.
TIP
•
During flash photography, if exposure compensation is performed,
background exposure and flash output both will be compensated. If it is used
together with flash exposure compensation, it is possible to adjust the
balance of background exposure and the flash output amount (please refer to
next page).
