[ ] Exposure Compensation

Exposure compensation is used when you want to adjust brightness. Compensation

up to 2.0EV is possible in steps of 0.3EV in both the “+” and “–” directions.

Operation — setting to [+0.3]

1 Turn on the power and set the mode select dial to “s” or “m”.

● The compensation value that has been set remains unchanged even after a picture is taken.

(For example, once +0.3 is set, the value +0.3 is used for all images shot thereafter until you

change the setting.)

● The compensation value will be returned to the default setting (±0.0) when the power is

turned off. If you want to preserve the setting, set [MODE LOCK] to [ON]. (page 84)

Guidelines for using exposure compensation

Use this mode when suitable exposure cannot be obtained due to extreme differences in the

brightness of the subject versus the background or when you wish to intentionally under- or

over-expose an image.

* As an example of extreme differences in the brightness of the subject versus background, a

scene on the stage with lighting coming from the spot light or a portrait in the location covered

with snow.

compensation just before shooting. For more
