Correcting Image Brightness (EV Shift)

You can manually adjust an image’s exposure value (EV value) before shooting it.

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

•Unit: 1/3EV

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

2.Use [8] and [2] to select the (EV Shift) Control Panel option, and then press [SET].

3.Use [8] and [2] to adjust the exposure compensation value.

•You can also perform this operation using the function ring.

[8], clockwise:

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

[2], counterclockwise:

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, change the EV value to 0.0.

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.
