PRO TIP: To reduce the amount of blur in your video and photos when
using the Shutter setting, mount your camera on a tripod or other surface
that is stable and cannot move.

Exposure Value Compensation (EV Comp)

Exposure Value Compensation affects the brightness of your video or
photo. Adjusting this setting can improve image quality when shooting in
environments with contrasting lighting conditions.

Options for this setting range from -2.0 to +2.0. The default setting is 0.

When you change this setting, the touch display immediately shows you the
effect on your image. Higher values result in brighter images.

For Video, this setting is available only if Shutter is set to Auto.

For information about adjusting exposure based on a certain area of your
scene, see

Exposure Control

(page 63).

PRO TIP: Exposure Value Compensation adjusts brightness within the
existing ISO setting. If brightness has already reached the ISO setting in a
low-light environment, increasing the Exposure Value Compensation does
not have any effect. To continue increasing the brightness, select a higher
ISO value.

Sharpness

Sharpness controls the quality of details captured in your video footage or
photos. Options for this setting are High (default), Medium, and Low.

When you change this setting, the touch display immediately shows you the
effect on your image.

PRO TIP: If you plan to increase sharpness during editing, select Low for
this setting.
