Setting Exposure CompensationN

When you photograph a white or black subject (such as clothing), the white might turn out darker and the black might look lighter. To obtain the desired color shade, set the exposure compensation and take the picture again. You can also set the exposure compensation to create bright or dark images as desired. This feature can be used in the Creative Zone modes (except <a>). The exposure compensation setting will not be automatically canceled when you turn off the camera. After taking the picture, reset the exposure compensation to zero.
