press the k button.
To brighten the image, set a positive (+)
value.
To darken the image, set a negative (–)
value.
The compensation value is applied, even
without pressing the k button.
When the shooting mode is smart portrait
mode, the glamour retouch screen is
displayed instead of the exposure compensation screen (A34).
When the shooting mode is A (auto) mode, the creative slider is displayed
instead of the exposure compensation screen (A42).
C Exposure Compensation Value
The setting may not be available with some shooting modes (A48).
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.
