DVANCED OPERATION
EXPOSURE COMPENSATION
Camera exposure can be changed by as much as ±3.0 Ev to make
the final image lighter or darker. For information on Ev, see page 31.
Exposure compensation can only be used with program, aperture-
priority, and shutter-priority exposure modes.
Press and hold the exposure-
compensation button (1) and turn the
control dial (2) to select the degree of
compensation. This value is displayed
on the data panel. The viewfinder
exposure indicators show an increase
(>) or decrease (<) in exposure
compensation.
When using exposure bracketing, the bracket is made in relation to
the compensated exposure. See page 48 on how to make exposure
brackets.
The viewfinder exposure indicator blinks if the exposure is outside
the shutter speed or aperture control range. See the appropriate
exposure mode section for more information.
Exposure compensation is not reset when the camera is turned off,
but is reset if the function dial is turned to the full-auto program
position.
Once set, the data panel exposure-
compensation indicator and viewfinder
exposure indicators show an increase
(+ / >) or decrease (– / <) to the
metered exposure.
