To set the exposure compensation value using the MENU

You can adjust the exposure compensation value within a range of -5.0 EV to +5.0 EV when the exposure compensation
dial is set to “0.”
MENU→

(Camera Settings1) → [Exposure Comp.] → desired setting.

Note

You cannot perform the exposure compensation in the following shooting modes:

[Intelligent Auto]
[Scene Selection]

When using [Manual Exposure], you can perform the exposure compensation only when [ISO] is set to [ISO AUTO].

The settings of the exposure compensation dial will be prioritized over [Exposure Comp.] or [Dial Ev Comp] in MENU.

Only a value between -3.0 EV and +3.0 EV with the equivalent image brightness appears on the screen when shooting. If you set
an exposure compensation value outside this range, the image brightness on the screen will not be affected, but the value will be
reflected in the recorded image.

You can adjust the exposure compensation value within the range of -2.0 EV to +2.0 EV for movies.

If you shoot a subject in extremely bright or dark conditions, or when you use the flash, you may not be able to get a satisfactory
effect.

When you set the exposure compensation dial to “0” from a setting other than “0,” the exposure value switches to “0” regardless
of the [Exposure Comp.] setting.
