OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

3.Use [￿] and [￿] to change the exposure compensation value, and then press [SET].

• Pressing [SET] registers the displayed value.

EV value

[￿] : Increases the EV value. A higher EV value is best

used for light-colored subjects and backlight subjects.

[￿] : Decreases the EV value. A lower EV value is best for dark-color subjects and for shooting outdoors on a clear day.

To cancel EV Shift, adjust the value until it becomes 0.0.

4.Record the image.

IMPORTANT!

When shooting under very dark or very bright conditions, you may not be able to obtain satisfactory results even after performing exposure compensation.

NOTE

Performing an EV shift operation while using multi- pattern metering (page 135) will cause the metering mode to switch automatically to center weighted metering (page 135). Returning the EV shift value to 0.0 causes the metering mode to change back to multi-pattern metering.

You can use key customization (page 140) to

configure the camera to perform exposure compensation whenever you press [￿] or [￿] while in a REC mode.
