o Changing Brightness Using Exposure Compensation
Exposure compensation is used to alter exposure from the value suggested by the
camera to make pictures brighter or darker.

A or B.
When the picture is too dark, apply positive (+)
exposure compensation.
When the picture is too bright, apply negative (–)
exposure compensation.
Exposure compensation can be set to values
between –2.0 and +2.0 EV.
Tap D to close the guide and return to shooting display without changing the
exposure compensation value.

display the slider and set the exposure
compensation value to 0 using the slider, and
then tap
Z.

Exposure Compensation Value
The exposure compensation value applied in A (auto) mode is stored in the camera’s memory even
after the camera is turned off, and reapplied the next time A (auto) mode is selected.

Using Exposure Compensation
The camera tends to reduce exposure when the frame is dominated by brightly lit objects and to
increase exposure when the frame is mostly dark. Positive (+) compensation may therefore be
required to capture the brilliancy of very bright objects that fill the frame (for example, sunlit
expanses of water, sand, or snow) or when the background is much brighter than the main subject.
Negative (–) compensation may be called for when large areas of the frame contain very dark objects
(for example, a swath of dark green leaves) or when the background is much darker than the main
subject.
