Chapter 2: Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips 45
1 In the Capture Menu (page 43), select EV Compensation.
2 In the EV Compensation sub-
menu, use the buttons to
change the EV setting in 0.5 steps
from -2.0 to +2.0. The new
setting is applied to the Live View
screen behind the menu, so you
can see the effect each setting will
have on the picture.
3 Press Menu/OK to save the setting and return to the
Capture Menu.
If the setting is anything other than the default setting of 0.0,
the number value will appear in the Live View screen next to
the
icon. The new setting remains in effect until it is changed
again or until the camera is turned off. The EV Compensation
setting resets to the default 0.0 setting when you turn the
camera off.
Image Quality
NOTE This setting does not apply when recording video clips.
This setting allows you to set the resolution and JPEG
compression of the still images you capture with your camera.
The Image Quality sub-menu has four settings.
NOTE The resolution portion of all the Image Quality settings
except for the VGA setting is represented by a number
and MP (Megapixels), such as 3MP or 1MP. The higher
the number of Megapixels, the higher the resolution. In the
case of the VGA setting, the image will be 640 by 480
pixels (0.31 MP), which is the lowest resolution.
