EV compensation

In the Capture menu (see

page 35), if you press OK when the EV Compensation option is highlighted, the EV Compensation screen displays. This screen allows you to change the exposure value (EV) that is used when capturing images and recording video clips.

In difficult lighting conditions, you can use EV Compensation to override the automatic exposure setting that the camera makes. EV Compensation settings range from -2.0EV to reduce the exposure of the image or video clip (darkening it), to +2.0 EV to increase the exposure of the image or video clip (brightening it).

Use the buttons to change the EV Compensation setting, then press OK. The default EV Compensation setting is 0.0 (zero). EV Compensation resets to the default 0.0 setting when you turn off the camera.

Exposure mode

NOTE The Exposure Mode setting does not apply when you are recording video clips.

In the Capture menu (see page 35), if you press OK when the Exposure Mode option is highlighted, the Exposure Mode sub-menu displays. The Exposure Mode setting determines how the camera selects the ISO speed, F-number (aperture),

and shutter speed for the given scene brightness.
