Exposure Compensation

Whenever program AE, shutter speed priority AE, or aperture priority AE is selected as the exposure mode, you can adjust the exposure compensation value (EV value) within the range shown below in order to compensate for current lighting conditions. This setting can be used to obtain better results when shooting with backlighting, indirect indoor light- ing, a dark background, etc.

EV Value Range: –2EV to +2EV

Steps: 1/3EV

2.Use [+] and [–] to change the exposure com- pensation value (EV shift).
