can adjust the exposure in the range of ±2.0 EV in 0.5 EV steps. When the
setting is changed, you can check the result on the monitor.

1 Press ac to select the
exposure compensation value.
• Select a [ + ] value to brighten the image
or a [ – ] value to darken the image.
2 Take the picture.
TIPS
• Often bright subjects (such as snow) will turn out darker than their natural
colors. Adjust toward + to make these subjects closer to their real shades. For
the same reason, adjust toward – when taking dark subjects.
• In some situations, you may get better results when the exposure that the
camera sets is compensated (adjusted) manually.
Note
• If the flash is used, the image brightness (exposure) may differ from the
intended brightness.
• Exposure compensation cannot correct the image if the surroundings of the
subject are extremely bright or dark.
