Exposure Setting Value
This setting allows you to intentionally lighten or darken the entire image. Use this setting when the optimum
brightness (exposure) cannot be obtained, for example, when the brightness between the subject and the
background is not balanced or when the subject to photograph occupies only an extremely small part of the
screen.
Set the mode dial to [ ], [ ] or [ ].
In the [ ] mode, exposure compensation is possible at the [ ] setting.

Press or to adjust the exposure.

The setting range is as follows. A larger value lightens the exposure,
and a smaller value darkens the exposure.
The value that you set is displayed on the LCD monitor.
Press to increase (brighten) exposure, and to decrease (darken)
exposure.
(to – side) (to + side)
–1.5 / –1.2 / –0.9 / –0.6 / –0.3 / 0 (default) / +0.3 / +0.6 / +0.9 / +1.2 / +1.5
Compose the picture, press the shutter button down half way, and press it down
fully. ➲ Page 41
The ideal brightness sometimes cannot be obtained even if a large exposure value is set in dark
photographic conditions.
In this case, press the shutter button, and check the brightness in the preview image (photographed still
image). (PREVIEW ➲ Page 77)
