Exposure compensation/Quick Adjust

The exposure compensation facility, for both manual and

automatic­ modes can be set from -5 to +5 EV, in 1/3, 1 or 1/2 EV increments (Custom Option #3) and is visible above the scale in the viewfinder and as a ± symbol on the grip display.

The quickest way to make an adjustment in auto-exposure mode is use the rear control wheel.

To make a temporary compensation setting in an auto-­ exposure mode using the Quick Adjust facility:

a)Select chosen auto exposure mode.

b)Turn the rear control wheel to select the chosen amount of compensation.

The amount is displayed in the viewfinder as both an EV

figure­ complete with a ‘minus’ or ‘plus’ prefix and as a marker above a ‘minus’ to ‘plus’ scale.

Default settings provide 1/3 EV compensation and an immediate clearing of the setting after capture.

However, in Custom Options #3 you can select 1/3, 1 or 1/2 EV increment changes, in Custom Options #23 you can choose to ­retain the setting after capture and in Custom Options #17 you can deactivate the facility.

To make a fixed exposure compensation setting, proceed as follows with the camera in active mode:

1)Press the +/- button on the viewfinder.

2)Turn either the front or rear control wheels to increase or decrease the amount of compensation in 1/3 EV steps.

3)The amount is displayed in the viewfinder as both an EV

figure­ complete with a ‘minus’ or ‘plus’ prefix (A in illustra- tion), and as a marker above a ‘minus’ to ‘plus’ scale (B in illustration).

4)Press Clr (AF button) to reset any compensation back to zero.

5)Press Save (ISO / WB button) to retain the setting.

6)A ‘±’ symbol is then displayed between the aperture and shutter speed setting as confirmation of the setting.
