Exposure Compensation
Exposure compensation is used to alter exposure from the value
suggested by the camera, making pictures brighter or darker.
It is
most effective when used with center-weighted or spot metering
(0 115). Choose from values between –5 EV (underexposure) and
+5 EV (overexposure) in increments of
1
/3 EV.
In general, positive
values make the subject brighter while negative values make it
darker.
To choose a value for exposure compensation, press the E button
and rotate the main command dial until the desired value is
displayed in the viewfinder or control panel.
