Exposure Compensation
I To modify exposure control (i.e. from the ISO standard), use the
exposure compensation function. This can be useful when the subject
has pronounced contrast or when bracketing exposure with color slide
film (where the latitude of the proper exposure is minimal). You can
modify exposure control from -3EV to +3EV in 1/2 steps (except in
mode and Vari-Program).
Compensate exposure by rotating the Command Dial
while pressing the I2l button until the desired
compensation value appears.
-0.5EV compensation
+2EV compensation
• When the exposure compensation is set, 0 appears in the viewfinder and
LCD panel. The compensation value can be checked by pressing the ^
button (it is also indicated in the viewfinder’s electronic analog display). In
flash photography, the flash output level is also compensated.
• Normally, you should compensate exposure to the + side when the
background is brighter than your main subject or to the - side when the
background is darker.
