settings.

Tips

• Often bright subjects (such as snow) will turn out darker than their natural colors. Adjusting towards “+”

makes these subjects closer to their real shades. For the same reason, adjust towards “–” when shooting

dark subjects.

• We recommend that you return the exposure compensation value to “0.0” after taking a picture with an

adjusted exposure compensation.

• To save the selected exposure compensation value for the next time you use the camera, set “ALL RESET”

to “OFF.” For details, see “Saving the settings (ALL RESET)” (

g page 148).

Note

If the flash is used, the image brightness (exposure) may differ from the intended brightness (exposure).
