Using exposure compensation to adjust brightness

In P, M, and Panorama modes, you can adjust exposure compensation before you take a picture to make your pictures darker or lighter. Only the first picture in Panorama mode can be adjusted—that adjustment is applied to the remaining pictures.

An exposure compensation level is shown on the LCD and the image gets darker or lighter.

3Take the picture when you are satisfied with the exposure compensation level.

Using exposure compensation with exposure bracketing

In P and M modes, you can use exposure compensation (see page 38) in conjunction with exposure bracketing to get the best exposure.

Using the histogram to view picture brightness

Use the histogram to evaluate the distribution of light before or after you take a picture. Optimal exposure is achieved when the peak is in the middle of the histogram. The flash may affect a picture’s light and shadow.

To turn on the histogram in Capture mode or in Review, press the Info button until the histogram appears.
