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.

NOTE

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).
