You can compensate from j2 EV to i2 EV in steps of 1/3 EV.

EV is an abbreviation for Exposure Value, and it is the amount of light given to the CCD by the aperture value and the shutter speed.

The compensation range of the exposure will be limited depending on the brightness of the subject.

The exposure compensation value appears on the lower left of the screen.

The set exposure value is memorised even if the camera is turned off.

Exposure cannot be compensated when using [STARRY SKY] (P62) in scene mode.
