Shooting Features
Adjusting Brightness (Exposure Compensation)
Adjust the overall brightness of the image.
• To brighten the image, set a positive (+)
value.
• To darken the image, set a negative (–) value.
B Notes About Exposure Compensation
Brightness adjustment (exposure compensation) cannot be used in m mode.
C Using the Histogram
A histogram is a graph showing the distribution of tones in the image. Use as a guide
when using exposure compensation and shooting without the flash.
• The horizontal axis corresponds to pixel brightness, with dark tones to the left and
bright tones to the right. The vertical axis shows the number of pixels.
• Increasing exposure compensation shifts tone distribution to the right, and
decreasing it shifts tone distribution to the left.
