3.Use [W] and [X] to adjust the exposure

compensation value.

[X]: Increases the EV value. A higher EV value is best used for light-colored subjects and backlit subjects.

*Increasing the EV value also works well with the BEST SHOT “Backlight” scene.

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

To cancel exposure compensation, adjust the value until it becomes 0.0.
