Exposure compensation can be set to values between –5 EV
(underexposure) and +5 EV (overexposure) in increments of
1 /
3
EV.
In general, choose positive values to make the subject brighter,
negative values to make it darker.
At values other than ±0.0, the 0 at the center
of the exposure indicators will flash and a
E
icon will be displayed in the control panel
and viewfinder after you release the
E
button. The current value for exposure
compensation can be confirmed in the
exposure indicator by pressing the
E
button.
Normal exposure can be restored by setting exposure
compensation to ±0.0. Exposure compensation is not reset when
the camera is turned off.
