OSetting Exposure Compensation

Exposure compensation is used to alter the camera’s standard exposure setting. You can make the image look lighter (increased exposure) or darker (decreased exposure). The exposure compensation amount can be set up to ±3 stops in 1/3-stop increments.

First set the <7> switch to <1>.

1 Press the shutter button halfway. (9)

¡Check the exposure level.

2 Turn the <5> dial to set the desired exposure compensation amount.

s The exposure level indicator <N> is displayed on the LCD panel, and the exposure compensation icon <y> and the exposure level indicator <s> are displayed in the viewfinder.

¡To cancel exposure compensation, set the exposure level indicator to the standard exposure index (<C> or <a>).

3 Take the picture.

¡ You can also set exposure compensation by pressing the <O> button (9) and turning the <6> dial.

¡The exposure compensation amount will remain in effect even after the <4> switch is set to <2>.

¡Take care not to turn the <5> dial and change the exposure compensation inadvertently. To prevent this, turn the <7> switch to <2>.
