Using C Camera Mode, N Continuous Shooting Mode and M Movie Mode
Applicable mode: C/N/M
Use exposure compensation to adjust the brightness of your images. This function is
especially useful for shots where you did not get the ideal exposure because subject and
background brightness differed a lot, and for images that you deliberately want to shoot
under- or overexposured.
This camera allows you to adjust the brightness up to plus or minus 2.0 EV in 1/3 EV
increments.
• The exposure compensation setting does not change after a shot is taken. (For example, if
compensation of +0.3 is set, all images shot subsequently will have an exposure
compensation of +0.3.)
• This setting reverts to the default value (±0.0) when the camera is switched off. To retain
the setting, set Mode Lock ( p.6-7) to ON.
• Exposure compensation when the flash is used is limited to between -1.0 and +1.0 EV.
• When the EVALUATION metering mode ( p.4-23) is used, the exposure compensation
may differ from the specified setting for some subjects.
