OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

This chapter describes the other powerful features and func- tions that are available for recording.

Exposure Compensation (EV Shift)

Exposure compensation lets you change the exposure set- ting (EV value) manually to adjust for the lighting of your sub- ject. This feature helps to achieve better results when re- cording a backlit subject, a strongly lit subject indoors, and a subject that is against a dark background.

Exposure Compensation Range: –2.0EV to +2.0EV

Steps: 1/3EV

1.In the REC mode, press MENU.

2.Select the “REC” tab, select “EV Shift”, and then rock the control- ler to the right.

Exposure compensation value

3.Rock the controller up or down to change the exposure compensation value, and then click.

• Clicking the controller registers the displayed value.

Up : Increases the EV value. A higher EV value is best used for light-colored subjects and backlight sub- jects.

Down : Decreases the EV value. A lower EV value is best for dark-color subjects and for shooting outdoors on a clear day.

•To cancel exposure compensation, adjust the value until it becomes 0.0.
