Exposure Compensation★

Exposure compensation is used to alter the camera’s standard exposure setting. You can make the picture look lighter (increased exposure) or darker (decreased exposure). The exposure compensation amount can be set up to +/–2 stops in half-stop increments.

1 Turn the Mode Dial to a Creative Zone mode except <W>.

2Check the exposure setting.

•Press the shutter button halfway and check the display.

3 Set the exposure compensation amount.

• Turn the <i> switch to <1> and turn the <u> dial.

• To cancel the exposure compensation, set the exposure compensation amount to <b>.

Increased exposure	Standard exposure index
	Standard exposure index
	Decreased	Increased
Decreased exposure	exposure	exposure
Decreased exposure		Exposure level mark
		Exposure level mark

4Take the picture.

• The exposure compensation amount set is retained even after the Mode Dial is set to <2>.

•Assuming that a shutter speed of 1/125 sec. and an aperture value of f/8.0 will give a correct exposure, setting the exposure compensation amount to plus or minus 1 stop will change the shutter speed or aperture value as follows:

	–1 stop	←	0	→	+1 stop
Shutter speed	250	←	125	→	60
Aperture value	11	←	8.0	→	5.6
