Exposure compensation
The camera exposure can be adjusted to make the final picture lighter or darker by as
much as ±2Ev in 1/3 increments with still image and movie recording. The exposure-
compensation value will remain in effect until it has been reset.
The exposure compensation must be set before the image is captured. When setting the exposure
compensation, the amount of compensation is shown next to the exposure-compensation icon on the
monitor. When set to any value other than 0.0, the icon will remain on the LCD monitor as a warning.
To set the exposure compensation, the monitor must be on.
