Exposure Compensation

Exposure compensation is used to alter exposure from the value
suggested by the camera, making pictures brighter or darker. It is
most effective when used with center-weighted or spot metering
(

0 129). Choose from values between –5 EV (underexposure) and

+5 EV (overexposure) in increments of

1

/

values make the subject brighter while negative values make it
darker.

To choose a value for exposure compensation, press the

E button

and rotate the main command dial until the desired value is
displayed in the viewfinder or top control panel.
