EXPOSURE AND FLASH COMPENSATION

The ambient light and flash exposure can be adjusted before the image is captured to make the final picture lighter or darker. Exposure can be adjusted by as much as ±2Ev in 1/3 increments (p. 105). The exposure and flash compensation will remain in effect until it has been reset. For more on exposure and flash compensation, see page 59.

Adjustments to exposure must be set before the image is captured. When setting exposure or flash compensation, the change in Ev is shown on the monitors. After the setting is made, the shutter-speed and aperture displays will indicate the actual exposure.
