EXPOSURE COMPENSATION

Camera exposure can be changed by as much as ±3.0 Ev to make the final image lighter or darker. For information on Ev, see page 31. Exposure compensation can only be used with program, aperture- priority, and shutter-priority exposure modes.

Press and hold the exposure- compensation button (1) and turn the control dial (2) to select the degree of compensation. This value is displayed on the data panel. The viewfinder exposure indicators show an increase

(>)or decrease (<) in exposure compensation.

Once set, the data panel exposure- compensation indicator and viewfinder exposure indicators show an increase (+ / >) or decrease (– / <) to the metered exposure.

When using exposure bracketing, the bracket is made in relation to the compensated exposure. See page 48 on how to make exposure brackets.

The viewfinder exposure indicator blinks if the exposure is outside the shutter speed or aperture control range. See the appropriate exposure mode section for more information.

Exposure compensation is not reset when the camera is turned off, but is reset if the function dial is turned to the full-auto program position.
