AUTO-RECORDING MODE

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. The exposure-compensation value will remain in effect until it has been reset. In auto-recording mode, exposure compensation is also reset when the mode dial is moved to another position.

The exposure compensation must be set before the image is captured. When making adjustments to exposure, the amount of compensation is shown next to the exposure-compensation icon on the 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 icon will remain on the data panel and LCD monitor as a warning.

To adjust the exposure, press the exposure-compensation button (1).

• The exposure compensation screen will appear.
