Adjusting the Exposure Manually

Applicable to: Full Auto shooting mode A, Manual shooting mode M

Generally, the brightness of the subject that is being shot is automatically adjusted according to the reference values of the camera. However, the brighter or darker areas of an image may appear unclear depending on the shooting conditions. To prevent this from occurring, you can correct the exposure manually.

1. Set to the Manual Exposure mode.

Press AE±.

●The AE value appears on the screen, and the adjustment mode is enabled.

(Control using the EV value when in the still picture mode.)
