Adjusting picture brightness (exposure

compensation)

This function allows you to make fine changes to the exposure setting. You
can adjust the exposure in the range of ±2.0 EV in 1/3 EV steps. When the
setting is changed, you can check the result on the monitor.

Press

bd to select a setting.

• Plus [+] increases brightness and minus

[–] decreases brightness.

Take the picture.

TIPS

• Often bright subjects (such as snow) will turn out darker than their natural

colors. Adjust toward + to make these subjects closer to their real shades. For

the same reason, adjust toward – when taking dark subjects.

• In some situations, you may get better results when the exposure that the

camera sets is compensated (adjusted) manually.

Note

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

intended brightness.

• Exposure compensation cannot correct the image if the surroundings of the

subject are extremely bright or dark.
