Changing the Exposure Exposure Comp

Changing the Exposure (EXPOSURE COMP.)

The exposure setting allows you to select brightness levels for your shots. Normally, if your subject is centered, backlight compensation is automatically activated, and you can shoot with correct exposure.

However, in the following cases, or when you intentionally want to change the exposure, you can change the exposure setting. Exposure can be specified in the range from -2.0 to +2.0. Setting the level higher (+) makes pictures brighter and lower (-) makes pictures darker.

For Backlighting

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

When your subject is whitish

It will turn out entirely dark (underexposure). Set the exposure level higher (+).

When your subject is darkish

It will turn out entirely bright (overexposure). Set the exposure level lower (-). The same happens when you take photos of people in a spotlight.

To change the setting, use either the Shooting Setting menu or the ADJ. button. This section explains easy ways with the ADJ. button.

When using the Shooting Setting menu, see "Using the Shooting Setting Menu" ( P.51).

Note

When shooting in particularly bright places, you may fail in preventing overexposure. In that case, the [!AE] symbol will be displayed.
