Panasonic DMC-LC40PP Compensating the Exposure, Shutter speed Aperture value

Compensating the Exposure

In some situations the illumination of the background and your subject may differ. Auto exposure systems may not always calculate the proper exposure correctly. This is a normal situation. This feature allows you to manually compensate the exposure.

[Preparation]

•Set the operational mode dial and REC mode dial. (P25)

Press 2/1 to compensate the exposure.

•You can compensate from -2 EV to +2 EV with 0.25 EV step.

(EV is an abbreviation of Exposure Value, and it is the amount of light given to the CCD by the aperture value and the shutter speed. EV0: the exposure capacity with the aperture value F1.0 and the shutter speed 1 second

When the aperture value or shutter speed rises, EV1, EV2, EV3... rise too.)

•The compensation state is not reflected on the LCD monitor.

Press the [REVIEW/SET] button.

•The compensation window will close.

Take a picture.

• The recording method is the same as in “Taking Pictures (AUTO Mode)”. (P29)

•When the shutter speed is faster than 1/500, the range of aperture value which is possible to compensate exposure will be limited. (A)

•When recording in AUTO [ ], portrait [ ], landscape [ ], sports [ ] or motion

image [ ] mode, it is not possible to compensate exposure.
