To adjust the exposure, press the left or right controller
key; the exposure-compensation screen appears.
Use the left/right keys of the controller to adjust the
exposure-compensation value. Changes to exposure
are visible in the live image.
Press the shutter-release button partway down or press
the central button of the controller to set the adjustment.
The camera exposure can be adjusted to make the final picture lighter or darker by as
much as ±2Ev in 1/3 increments. Exposure compensation can only be used with Digital
Subject Programs, the P, A, and S exposure modes. With Digital Subject Programs,
exposure compensation is reset when the exposure-mode dial is moved to another
position or the camera is turned off. In P, A, and S exposure modes, exposure
compensation remains in effect until reset.
EXPOSURE COMPENSATION
When adjusting the exposure, the amount of compensation is shown in EV (p. 53). After
the setting is made, the shutter-speed and aperture displays indicate the actual
exposure. Because the exposure can be adjusted in fine steps, the shutter speed or
aperture value displayed may not change. When set to any value other than zero, the
exposure-compensation indicator remains on the monitor as a warning.
Sometimes the camera’s exposure
meter is deceived by certain
conditions, exposure compensation
can compensate for this. In the
example, the dark water caused the
camera to overexpose the image
making it too bright and washed-out.
By compensating the exposure, detail
is brought out in the leaves, and the
stones and water appear richer.
