Chapter 2: Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips 51
6 To restore Capture Menu settings to what they were when
you turned the camera off, hold down the Menu/OK button
as you turn the camera back on.
Help for the Menu Options
Help... is the last option in each of
the Capture sub-menus. The Help...
option provides information about
that Capture menu option and its
settings. For example, if you press
Menu/OK when Help... is
highlighted in the White Balance
sub-menu, the White Balance Help screen is displayed,
as shown.
Use the buttons to scroll through the Help screens. To
exit the Help and return to the particular Capture sub-menu,
press the Menu/OK button.
EV Compensation
In difficult lighting conditions, you can use EV (Exposure
Value) Compensation to override the automatic exposure
setting that the camera makes.
EV Compensation is useful in scenes that contain many light
objects (like a white house in the snow) or many dark objects
(like a black cat on a dark background). Scenes containing
many light objects or many dark objects could turn out gray
without the use of EV Compensation. For a scene with many
light objects, increase the EV Compensation to a positive
number to produce a brighter result. For a scene with many
dark objects, decrease the EV Compensation to darken the
scene to be closer to black.
