EV Compensation
In difficult lighting conditions, you can use EV (Exposure
Value) Compensation to override the automatic exposure
setting that the camera makes.
EV Compensation is useful in scenes that contain many light
objects (like a white house in the snow) or many dark objects
(like a black cat on a dark background). Scenes containing
many light objects or many dark objects could turn out gray
without the use of EV Compensation . For a scene with many
light objects, increase the EV Compensation to a positive
number to produce a brighter result. For a scene with many
dark objects, decrease the EV Compensation to darken the
scene to be closer to black.
1 In the Capture Menu (page 55), select EV Compensation .
2 In the EV Compensatio n sub-
menu, use the buttons to
change the EV setting in 0.33
steps from -3.0 to +3.0. The new
setting is applied to the Live View
screen behind the menu, so you
can see the effect each setting will
have on the picture.
3 Press Menu/OK to save the setting and return to the
Capture Menu .
If the setting is anything other than the default setting of 0
(zero), the number value will appear in the Live View screen
next to the icon .
Except in My Mode (page 52), the new setting remains in
effect until it is changed again or until the camera is turned off.
