Setting Exposure Compensation
Exposure compensation is used to alter the camera’s standard exposure setting to make the
picture brighter (increased exposure) or darker (decreased exposure). Exposure compensation
can be set up to +/–2 stops, in 1/2-stop increments.

remains in memory after the Main Switch is
set to <OFF>.
● To cancel exposure compensation, return
the compensation setting to the standard
exposure position <

Take the picture.
● To prevent the < > dial from turning inadvertently and changing the exposure
compensation, enter the setting and then set the Quick Control Dial switch to
<OFF>.
● In <
> (Manual) mode, because you determine the exposure (the combination
of shutter speed and aperture) yourself, the exposure compensation function
does not operate.
You can set the camera so that you can set the exposure compensation amount in
1/3-stop increments. (C.Fn-4-1→122)
