Note

EV is an abbreviation of [Exposure Value]. It refers to the amount of light given to the CCD by the aperture value and the shutter speed.

The set exposure value is memorized even if the camera is turned off. However, the exposure value during the Intelligent Auto Mode is not memorized.

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

Rotate the rear dial slowly but surely.

When the aperture and shutter speed values are displayed in the screen in the Program AE mode, Program Shift operation and Exposure Compensation operation is switched every time the rear dial is pressed.

In the Aperture-Priority AE mode, Aperture Setting Operation (P84) and Exposure Compensation operation is switched every time the rear dial is pressed.

In the Shutter-Priority AE mode, Shutter Speed Setting Operation (P84) and Exposure Compensation operation is switched every time the rear dial is pressed.

In Quick Menu (P30) in [ ] (LCD monitor style), after selecting the Exposure Compensation display using 2/1 or the rear dial, you can compensate the exposure with 3/4.

In Quick Menu in [ ] (Finder style), after selecting the Exposure Compensation display using the rear dial or 2/1, pressing the rear dial or [MENU/SET] will allow you to compensate the exposure with the rear dial or 2/1.
