EXPOSURE COMPENSATION

The camera exposure can be adjusted to make the final picture lighter or darker by as much as ±2Ev in 1/3 increments with still image and movie recording. When auto reset (P. 55) is active, exposure compensation is reset to ±0 when the camera is turned off. Exposure compensation is set

in the main menu of the recording mode (p. 36) or the movie-recording mode (p. 61). The exposure-compensation function can be assigned to the controller with controller customization (P. 54).

The exposure compensation must be set before the image is captured. When setting the exposure compensation, the amount of compensation is shown next to the exposure- compensation indicator on the monitor. When set to any value other than 0.0, the exposure-compensation indicator will be displayed on the LCD monitor as a warning.

Move the controller up and down to adjust the exposure-compensation value.

The LCD monitor will display the exposure-compensation indicator and the degree of compensation. The change in exposure is visible in the live image.
