NOTE:

• A higher EV value is best used for light-colored subjects and backlit subjects. A lower EV value is best for dark-colored subjects and for shooting outdoors on a clear day.

When shooting under very dark or very bright conditions, you may not be able to obtain satisfactory results even after performing exposure compensation.

Exposure compensation returns to its standard default setting (AUTO) after you turn off and turn on the camera again.
