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.
Exposure Compensation Range: –2.0EV to +2.0EV
Steps: 1/3EV

value to appear on the

EV value
Press [ ] to increase the EV value. A higher EV value is
best used for light-colored subjects and backlight subjects.
Press [ ] to decrease the EV value. A lower EV value is
best for dark-color subjects and for shooting outdoors on
