If your pictures seem too dark or too light, adjust the amount of light allowed into
the camera so that your pictures are properly exposed. These adjustments in
lighting are called Exposure Compensation.

the camera.
3 Press the Menu button.
The LCD displays the main Menu screen.
4 Press a button until the icon is
highlighted.

You can adjust the exposure numbers in +2.0 to
-2.0 in 0.5 increments. An increase of 1.0
doubles the amount of light allowed into the
camera. A decrease of 1.0 reduces the amount
of light by half.

Exposure Compensation icon appears in the

It is possible to select an exposure setting as the
default. See page 53 for details.
