Setting Exposure Compensation

Use Exposure Compensation to control how much light enters the camera. This setting is useful for taking pictures in high-contrast scenes, or for retaking pictures when you are not satisfied with the brightness.

Adjust the exposure by plus or minus 2 steps in 1/2-step increments. NOTE: Exposure Compensation cannot be used with Long Time Exposure.

You can use PAS mode to quick-set Exposure Compensation (see page 17).

1In any Still mode, press the Menu button.

2Press to highlight Exposure Compensation , then press the OK button.

3Press to select the Exposure Compensation setting.

!If pictures are too light, decrease the value.

!If pictures are too dark, increase the value.

4Press the OK button to accept the change.

5Press the Menu button to exit the menu.

6Use the camera screen to frame your subject. Press the Shutter button half-way and hold to set the focus, then press the rest of the way down to take the picture.

This setting remains until you change the Mode dial or turn off the camera; or, if it was set in PAS mode, until you use Reset (page 38) to return to the default setting.
