Exposure Compensation (EV Shift)
Exposure compensation lets you change the exposure set-
ting (EV value) manually to adjust for the lighting of your sub-
ject. This feature helps to achieve better results when re-
cording a backlit subject, a strongly lit subject indoors, and a
subject that is against a dark background.

Steps: 1/3EV

Rock the controller up or down to change the
exposure compensation value, and then click.
• Clicking the controller registers the displayed value.
Up : Increases the EV value. A higher EV value is best
used for light-colored subjects and backlight sub-
jects.

for dark-color subjects and for shooting outdoors
on a clear day.
• To cancel exposure compensation, adjust the value
until it becomes zero.
