EXPOSURE COMPENSATION

If you want to intentionally overexpose or underexpose the picture, use this function.

While pressing the Exposure Compensation button, turn the “C”-dial to set the desired compensation value. Then, release the Exposure Compensation button.

■The LCD panel will show “ 0.0” when you initially press the exposure compensation button. The “ ” indicates overexposure, and “ ” indicates underexposure.

■Exposure compensation can be set in 0.5EV increments from +3.0 to –3.0 stops.

■For example, if you set +1.0 then the shutter speed will be one stop slower in Aperture Priority mode. In Shutter Speed Priority mode, the aperture will be one-stop larger (smaller F-number). In the case of Program mode, the shutter speed will be 0.5 stop slower and the aperture will increase 0.5 stop.

CAUTION !!

￿Once you set the Exposure Compensation, the camera will continuously hold this

mode, until the compensation amount is set to 0.0 value.

￿Exposure compensation function cannot be used with Manual Operation mode.
