Your camera adjusts the exposure of each scene automatically. However, when if
the subject is very dark, or very bright, you may override the camera automatic
exposure determination to make the subject brighter or darker. This is called EV
compensation. The EV compensation of the camera can be adjusted from -1.8EV
to +1.8EV. Use the / button to select the EV compensation that you want and
then press the OK button.
