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 object against a light background) or
many dark objects (like a black object against 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.
1. In the Capture Menu (page 31), select EV Compensation.
2. In the EV Compensation sub-
menu, use the buttons to
change the EV setting in 0.33
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 the button 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.
