Exposure Compensation
Use exposure compensation to vary exposure from the value selected
by the camera. Choose from values between –2 and +2; negative
values produce darker pictures, positive values brighter pictures.
Exposure compensation may be required in the following situations:

For backlighting

When the background is particularly bright, the subject will appear
dark (underexposed). In this case, set the exposure level higher (+).

When your subject is whitish

The entire picture will turn out dark (underexposed). Set the exposure
level higher (+).

When your subject is darkish

The entire picture will turn out bright (overexposed). Set the exposure
level lower (–). The same happens when you take a photo of a subject
in a spotlight.
Press the !" buttons to choose a
exposure value and press the MENU/OK
button. The selected value is displayed in
the picture display.
