Exposure compensation

The camera exposure can be adjusted to make the final picture lighter or darker by as much as ±2Ev in 1/3 increments. This function is only available in the auto-recording mode.

Exposure compensation must be set before the image is captured. When making adjustments to exposure, the amount of compensation is shown at the bottom of the LCD monitor. After the setting is made, the shutter-speed and aperture displays will indicate the actual exposure. Because the exposure can be adjusted in fine steps, the shutter speed or aperture value displayed may not change. When set to any value other than 0.0, the exposure-compensation indicator and the degree of compensation will remain on the LCD monitor as a warning.

Compose the picture on the monitor and press one of the scroll buttons to activate exposure compensation; the camera exposure is locked. Changing zoom or mode dial position will cancel exposure compensation.

Set the degree of exposure-compensation using the scroll but- tons. Changes to exposure are visible in the live image. The exposure is locked until picture is taken.

If the flash mode is set to autoflash, the flash will not fire. To use the flash, set the flash mode to fill-flash.

If the LCD monitor is off, it will turn on automatically when exposure compensation is active, but can be turned off if necessary.
