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 setting the exposure compensation, 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.

Exposure compensation can be used with the bracketing drive mode (p. 36). The bracketing series will be made in relation to the compensated exposure. Under extreme conditions, one of the bracketed exposures may be inaccurate because it is outside the exposure control range of the camera.

If the flash mode is set to autoflash, the flash will not fire. To use the flash, set the flash mode to fill- flash (p. 30).
