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 ±3 increments. The camera displays the exposure warning in red for each step beyond ±3 range.

To adjust the exposure value, press the command dial twice, and then		-2	+2
rotate it while the exposure value is selected. You can also adjust the			Original
exposure value by touching	→ EV, and then dragging the dial on
the screen.
You can check the exposure value by the position of the exposure level
indicator.
