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
1.
In a recording mode,
press [ ] and [ ].
This causes the
exposure compensation
value to appear on the
monitor screen.
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
a clear day.
To cancel exposure compensation, adjust the value
until it becomes zero.
2.
Compose the image and then press the shutter
relese button.
IMPORTANT!
• When shooting under very dark or very bright condi-
tions, you may not be able to obtain satisfactory re-
sults even after performing exposure compensation.
