Exposure Compensation (p. 69)

This camera automatically adjusts the exposure to shoot images with the optimal brightness. However, recorded images may sometimes be brighter or darker than the actual image depending on the shooting conditions. If this happens, adjust the exposure compensation manually.

zUnderexposure

The whole recorded image is dark, which makes white elements of the image appear gray. Shooting bright subjects or in backlit conditions may cause the image to be underexposed. Adjust the exposure compensation towards the (+) end.

zOptimal Exposure

zOverexposure

The whole recorded image is bright, which makes black elements of the image appear gray. Shooting dark subjects or in dark places may cause the image to be overexposed. Adjust the exposure compensation towards the (-) end.

ISO Speed (p. 74)

The ISO speed is the numeric representation of the camera's sensitivity to light. The higher the ISO speed, the higher the sensitivity. A high ISO speed allows you to shoot images in dark indoor or outdoor conditions without a flash and also helps prevent blurred images due to camera shake. This is convenient when shooting images in places where flash photography is prohibited. The ISO speed setting makes full use of the available light, resulting in images that convey the feel of the place they were shot.
