Shooting Functions
Exposure compensation
The camera automatically sets the exposure by measuring the levels of
light from the photo’s composition and the position of a subject. If the
exposure set by the camera is higher or lower than you expected, you can
adjust the exposure value manually. The exposure value is adjustable in ±3
increments. The camera displays the exposure warning in red for each step
beyond ±3 range.
To adjust the exposure value, hold down [W] and scroll left or right on the
jog dial. You can also adjust the exposure value by pressing [f], and then
selecting EVC (Exposure Value Compensation).
You can check the exposure value by the position of the exposure level
indicator.

Exposure lock
When you cannot achieve an appropriate exposure because of a strong color
contrast, lock the exposure and then capture a photo.
To lock the exposure, adjust the photo's composition on which you want to
calculate the exposure, and then press the custom button. (p. 97)
After locking the exposure, aim the lens where you desire, and press
[Shutter].
