Exposure Compensation Auto Exposure/Flash Exposure Bracketing
Exposure
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 steps).
• When the exposure compensation is set, = appears in the LCD panel and
viewfinder. The compensation value can be checked by pressing the ˚ button.
• Electronic analog exposure display indicates the exposure compensation value and
0 blinks.
• 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.
· 2: Compensation value can be set to be changed in 1/2 or one steps (page 71).
· 13: Exposure compensation can be set to be performed using the Main- or Sub-
Command Dial without pressing the exposure compensation button (page 73).
•To modify exposure control (i.e. from the ISO standard), 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 of the proper exposure is minimal). Use Center-
Weighted or Spot Metering. Exposure compensation can be performed
in any exposure mode.

• To cancel exposure compensation, rotate the Main-Command Dial while
pressing the ˚ button to reset the compensation value to 0.0. Alternately, you
can perform Two-Button Reset (page 76). (Turning the power switch off does not
cancel the exposure compensation function.)
•Auto Exposure/Flash Exposure Bracketing allow you to shoot in
selected compensated EV value (maximum of ±2 EV) shifting from the
automatically set proper exposure (selected exposure in Manual
exposure mode) for a selected number of shots (maximum of three)
each time the shutter is released. Auto Exposure/Flash Exposure
Bracketing can be performed in any exposure mode.

differ.
• In any of the exposure modes, Flash Exposure Bracketing (in which the TTL
Auto Flash level of the lighted main subject is shifted) and Auto Exposure
Bracketing (in which the exposure of a background lighted by ambient light is
shifted) are simultaneously performed when a Speedlight is used.
· 11: Bracketing can be set to perform only Auto Exposure Bracketing or Flash
Exposure Bracketing where both are normally performed simultaneously (page 73).

Set the number of shots and compensated EV value
by rotating the Sub-Command Dial while pressing the
Auto Exposure/Flash Exposure Bracketing W button.
• See the table on the next page for the combinations of the number of shots and
compensated EV value.
· 2: Compensation value can be set to change in steps of 1/2 or one (page 71).
