Standard exposure

•The exposure is compensated by 1/3 of a step between ±3.0 EV. You can set this exposure step to 1/2 EV increments with [Exposure step] in the Recording menu (page 111).

To compensate the exposure only on the ambient light*

In the default setting, the exposure compensation is performed with the amount of flash light also changed when the flash is fired. You can limit the effect of exposure compensation to the background that is illuminated only by ambient light (light other than the flash) (page 121).

*Ambient light: Any light other than the flash light that shines on the scene for an extended period of time, such as natural light, a light bulb, or a fluorescent light.
