Exposure compensation can be set to values between –5 EV
(underexposure)
and +5 EV (overexposure) in increments of
1
/3 EV.
In general, choose positive values to make the subject brighter,
negative values to make it darker.
At values other than ±0, the 0 at the center of the electronic
analog exposure displays will flash and a E icon will be displayed
in the control panel and viewfinder after you release the E button.
The current value for exposure compensation can be confirmed in
the electronic analog exposure display by pressing the E button.
Normal exposure can be restored by setting exposure
compensation to ±0.
Exposure compensation is not reset when
the camera is turned off.
