Shooting Functions

Exposure compensation

The camera automatically sets the exposure by measuring the levels of light from the photo’s composition and the position of a subject. If the exposure set by the camera is higher or lower than you expected, you can adjust the exposure value manually. The exposure value is adjustable in ±5 increments. The camera displays the exposure warning in red for each step beyond ±5 range. When recording a video, the exposure value is adjustable in ±3 increments.

To adjust the exposure value, while holding down [B], scroll command dial 2. You can also adjust the exposure value by pressing [f], and then selecting EV.

When you compensate the exposure value in Manual mode, the current shutter speed and aperture value do not change. When you adjust the exposure value by rotating command dial 2 while holding down [B] when ISO sensitivity is set to Auto, the exposure value adjusts by changing the ISO sensitivity.
