5. Setting Exposure Compensation
Exposure compensation is used to alter the camera’s standard exposure
setting. While looking through the viewfinder, you can use either the < >
dial or < > button to set the exposure compensation amount. Any
exposure compensation amount that you set can later be changed or
canceled with the < > dial or < > button. The exposure compensation
amount can be set up to ±3 stops in 1/3-stop increments.
