Controlling Exposure

overexposure compensation, and a indicates an underexposure compensation.

You can set Exposure Compensation in 1/3 EV increments from +3.0 to -3.0 stops.

For example, if you are in the Aperture Priority AE mode and set Exposure Compensation to +1.0, the shutter speed changes to one stop slower. In Shutter Speed Priority AE mode, the aperture will be one stop larger (smaller f-number). In Program AE mode, both the shutter speed and aperture value changes add up to a +1.0 stop.

NOTE: You cannot use the Exposure Compensation function with Manual Exposure mode.

Exposure Compensation remains in effect until you cancel it.

•Press and hold the Exposure Compensation button and turn the C-Dial

until 0.0 appears in the Top Status LCD.

NOTE: If you have an approved flash installed on the camera's Hot Shoe, the Exposure Compensation setting affects the flash output. In addition, the Exposure Compensation setting sums with a Flash Exposure Compensation setup on the flash. For example, if Exposure Compensation is set to +1.0 and Flash Exposure Compensation is set to -.07, the total compensation is +0.3.
