Unless you select "OFF" in the "ALL RESET" setting (P.173), this setting will
be cancelled when you switch the camera off.

monitor, it may not change the appearance of dimly lit subjects. For this type
of subject, check the shot on the monitor.

Exposure compensation may not work properly for shots taken using flash.
