Exposure compensation
The camera exposure can be adjusted to make the final picture lighter or darker by as much as
±1.5Ev in 0.3 increments. Exposure compensation is set in the recording menu (p. 35). When set to
any value other than 0.0, the exposure-compensation value remains in the top left corner of the
monitor as a warning.
Use the left/right controller keys to adjust the exposure-
compensation value. The change in exposure is visible
in the monitor image.
Exposure compensation is used when the
camera’s exposure meter is deceived by
high-key or low-key subjects. In the exam-
ple, the dark water caused the camera to
overexpose the image making it bright and
washed-out. By compensating the exposure,
detail is brought out in the leaves, and the
stones and water appear richer.
