Exposure compensation can brighten (increased exposure) or darken
(decreased exposure) the standard exposure set by the camera.
Exposure compensation can be set in the d/s/f shooting modes.
Although you can set the exposure compensation up to ±5 stops in 1/3-
stop increments, the exposure compensation indicator in the viewfinder
and on the LCD panel can only display the setting up to ±3 stops. If you
want to set the exposure compensation setting beyond ±3 stops, use the
Quick Control (p.50) or follow the instructions for
[z3: Expo.comp./
AEB] on the next page.

If [z3: Auto Lighting Optimizer] (p.140) is set to any setting other than
[Disable], the image may look bright even if a decreased exposure
compensation is set.
The exposure compensation amount will remain in effect even after you
set the power switch to <2>.
After setting the exposure compensation amount, you can set the
<R> switch upward to prevent the exposure compensation amount
from changing accidentally.
If the exposure compensation amount exceeds ±3 stops, the end of the
exposure level indicator will display <I> or <J>.
