Konica Minolta G530 instruction manual Exposure Compensation

EXPOSURE COMPENSATION

The camera exposure can be adjusted to make the final picture lighter or darker by as much as ±2.0Ev in 1/3Ev increments in the movie/audio and manual recording modes. Exposure compensation is set on the menu. When set to any value other than 0.0, the exposure-compensation value remains on the monitor as a warning.

On the movie/audio or manual recording menu, select the degree of exposure compensation; the live image reflects the changes. See page 36 for menu operation.

Exposure compensation is used when the camera’s exposure meter is deceived by high-key or low-key subjects. In the example below, the dark water caused the camera to overexpose the image making it bright and washed-out. By compensating the exposure, detail is brought out in the leaves, and the stones and water appear richer.
