Taking pictures with Exposure

Compensation

This feature allows the user to manually adjust the exposure when a proper auto exposure cannot be obtained.

Recording mode:

Press to display [Exposure]

Use cursor button to select a value and press [MENU/SET]

If the picture is too dark, adjust the exposure to the “+” direction.

If the picture is too bright, adjust the exposure to the “-” direction.

After exposure adjustment, the adjustment value ( for example) is displayed in the bottom-left corner of the screen.

Depending on the brightness, this may not be possible in some cases.

The Exposure Compensation value you set is retained even after the camera is turned off.
