Understanding EV(Exposure Value)

Exposure value is the total amount of light allowed to fall on the photographic medium (Image sensor) during the process of taking photos or videos.

Manual exposure is recommended in these situations:

•When shooting using reverse lighting or when the background is too bright.

•When shooting against a reflective natural background such as at the beach or when skiing.

•When the background is overly dark or the subject is bright.

• The exposure also can be set in the shortcut menu. page 26

• The shutter speed also varies automatically depending on the EV value.
