Using exposure compensation to adjust brightness
In P, M, and Panorama modes, you can adjust exposure compensation before you take
a picture to make your pictures darker or lighter. Only the first picture in Panorama
mode can be adjusted—that adjustment is applied to the remaining pictures.
1 Press to access the exposure compensation setting.
2 Press to decrease or to increase exposure compensation.
An exposure compensation level is shown on the LCD and the image gets darker or lighter.
3 Take the picture when you are satisfied with the exposure compensation level.
Using exposure compensation with exposure bracketing
In P and M modes, you can use exposure compensation (see page 38) in conjunction
with exposure bracketing to get the best exposure.
Using the histogram to view picture brightness
Use the histogram to evaluate the distribution of light before or after you take a
picture. Optimal exposure is achieved when the peak is in the middle of the
histogram. The flash may affect a picture’s light and shadow.
To turn on the histogram in Capture mode or in Review, press the Info button
until the histogram appears.

compensation is set to:

interval is set to 0.3 steps:

taken are:
0.0
+1.0
–1.0
(Set the Exposure Bracketing Interval
