Applicable modes:
Use this function when you cannot achieve appropriate exposure due to the difference in
brightness between the subject and the background.
The Exposure Compensation value can be set within a range of j5 EV to i5EV.
When recording motion pictures, the Exposure Compensation value can be set within a
range of j3EV to i3EV.
Select [0] to return to the original exposure.
Rotate the control dial to display the [Expo.Meter]. (P84)
When [Auto Exposure Comp.] in [Flash] in the [Rec] menu is set to [ON], the brightness of the

screen will no longer change.
It is recommended to record by checking the actual brightness of the recorded image in the
