Exposure Compensation
1
Set exposure compensation by rotating the
Main-Command Dial while pressing the =
button until the desired compensation value
appears (–5 EV to +5 EV in 1/3 EV steps).
• When the = button is pressed, the electronic
analog exposure display indicates the exposure
compensation value (and “0” of the indicator
blinks).
• When the exposure compensation is set, =
appears in the top LCD panel and viewfinder. The
compensation value is displayed in the top and
rear LCD panels (in detailed or large display).
• While the = button is pressed, { (if the
compensation is to the + side) or } (if the
compensation is to the – side) is displayed in the
viewfinder.
• To cancel exposure compensation, rotate the
Main-Command Dial while pressing the = button
to reset the compensation value to 0.0. This can
also be done by performing Two-Button Reset (x
147). (Turning the power switch off does not
cancel the exposure compensation function.)
To adjust exposure control, use the exposure compensation function.
This can be useful when the subject has pronounced contrast or when
bracketing exposure with color slide film (where the latitude for a
proper exposure is minimal). Use Center-Weighted or Spot Metering.
Exposure compensation can be performed in any exposure mode.

When exposure compensation is set while Speedlight is used, flash output level is
also compensated.
Normally, you should compensate exposure to the + side when the background is
brighter than your main subject, or to the – side when the background is darker.
CSM b2: Compensation value can be set to be changed in 1/2 or one EV steps
(x 97).
CSM b3: Exposure compensation can be set to be performed using the Main-
or Sub-Command Dial without pressing the exposure compensation button
(x 97).
