Setting the brightness of each shot manually is
easily done through three separate parameter
controls on the XL2.
WHITE BALANCE
While the White Balance can be set to
the factory presets of Auto, Outdoor
(5600k colour temperature) or Indoor
(3200k colour temperature), it’s also
possible to manually configure ‘true
white’ at three different custom levels.

AE SHIFT
You can set the AE Shift function in
13 steps from +2.0 to –2.0, allowing
you to move through exposures at
a controlled rate. The screen can
be at either a high or low key level
depending on your preference.
AE LOCK
This feature allows you to manually
set and lock the exposure. Once this
has been done it is still possible to
adjust shutter speed and aperture
without further affecting the exposure.
