Setting Exposure Compensation
Use Exposure Compensation to control how much light enters the camera. This
setting is useful for taking pictures in high-contrast scenes, or for retaking
pictures when you are not satisfied with the brightness.
Adjust the exposure by plus or minus 2 steps in 1/2-step increments.
NOTE: Exposure Compensation cannot be used with Long Time Exposure.
You can use PAS mode to quick-set Exposure Compensation (see
page 17).

button.

Compensation setting.
! If pictures are too light, decrease the
value.
! If pictures are too dark, increase the
value.
4 Press the OK button to accept the change.
5 Press the Menu button to exit the menu.
6 Use the camera screen to frame your
subject. Press the Shutter button half-way
and hold to set the focus, then press the
rest of the way down to take the picture.
This setting remains until you change the
Mode dial or turn off the camera; or, if it
was set in PAS mode, until you use Reset
(page 38) to return to the default setting.
