•Exposure Compensation Range: –2.0EV to +2.0EV

•Unit: 1/3EV

1.In the REC mode, press [SET].

2.Use [8] and [2] to select the second Control Panel option from the bottom (EV Shift).

3.Use [4] and [6] to adjust the exposure compensation value.

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

4.Press [SET].

This applies the exposure compensation value. The exposure compensation value you set remains in effect until you change it or turn off the camera (which causes it to revert to “0.0”).

NOTE

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