Minolta 7i instruction manual Exposure and Flash Compensation

RECORDING MODE

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 adjust- ed by as much as ±2Ev in 1/3 increments (p. 151). The exposure and flash compensation will remain in effect until it has been reset.

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 data-panel aperture display and on the monitors. After the setting is made,

the shutter-speed and aperture displays will indicate the actual exposure. Because the shutter speeds can be adjusted in fine steps, the same shutter speed or aperture value may be displayed after the exposure is compensated.
