Exposure Compensation

•To modify exposure control (i.e. from the ISO standard), use the exposure compensation function. This can be useful when the subject has pronounced contrast or when bracketing exposure with color slide film (where the latitude of the proper exposure is minimal). Use Center- Weighted or Spot Metering. Exposure compensation can be performed in any exposure mode.

1 Set exposure compensation by rotating the Main- Command Dial while pressing the ˚ button until the desired compensation value appears (–5 EV to +5 EV in 1/3 steps).
