lock button again. It remains locked only at the A setting. Be sure to set the dial at a specific speed and not in between two speeds as this will cause exposure errors.
2.Press the shutter release button halfway to activate the meter.
3.Adjust the aperture and/or shutter speed controls until the triangle symbols both appear in the viewfinder for correct exposure.
The camLCD and viewLCD will also indicate the TV (shut-ter speed) setting.
A flashing shutter speed indicates light meter out of range (too dark or too bright scene).
Exposure compensation
In certain situations a preferable exposure may be obtained – technically or creatively – by overriding the suggested exposure. There are two alternative ways to do this in automatic mode, the choice of method depending on the type of scene. Where there are large, bright areas- a landscape with large white clouds for example - point the camera down towards foreground tones and press the release button halfway to lock the exposure. While maintaining the pressure on the but-
ton, return to the desired composition and press the button all the way down for exposure.
In situations where this method is not possible - where there are no suitable areas to make a reading from or where you are taking several pictures in quick succes- sion, for example - use programming of the exposure compensation instead. Setting in half EV steps, it will provide you with the desired amount of correction automatically.
1.Press the MODE button on the camLCD for 1s.
2.Press repeatedly until a combined +/- symbol ap- pears in the lower right frame on the display (not the AEB± symbol).
3.Select the amount of compensation with the ▲ / ▼ buttons and confirm by pushing MODE again or by pushing the release button halfway.
A +/- symbol is shown on the display as well as the amount of compensation. A +/- symbol also appears on the viewLCD, though not the amount of compensation. For example, if you want to photograph a dark figure against a dominant light background, the exposure suggested (averaged TTL meter reading) will produce an underexposed image. By setting an exposure compensation of + 1.5, for example, the result will be more natural. A common situation is a 'back lit* subject – an
