EXPOSURE COMPENSATION
If you want to intentionally overexpose or
underexpose the picture, use this function.
While pressing
button, turn the “C”-
dial to set the desired compensation value.
Then, release the Exposure Compensation
button.
■
The LCD panel will show “
0.0” when
you initially press the exposure compensation
button. The “
” indicates overexposure,
and “ ” indicates underexposure.
■
Exposure compensation can be set in 1/3EV increments from +3.0 to –3.0
stops.
■
For example, if you set +1.0 then the shutter speed will be one stop slower in
Aperture Priority mode. In Shutter Speed Priority mode, the aperture will be
one-stop larger (smaller F-number). In the case of Program mode, the shutter
speed will be 0.5 stop slower and the aperture will increase 0.5 stop.
CAUTION !!
•
Once you set the Exposure Compensation, the camera will continuously hold
this mode, until the compensation amount is set to
0.0 value.
•
Exposure compensation function cannot be used with Manual Operation
mode.
TIP
•
During flash photography, if exposure compensation is performed,
background exposure and flash output both will be compensated. If it is used
together with flash exposure compensation, it is possible to adjust the
balance of background exposure and the flash output amount (please refer to
next page).
