[REC] Mode:
Compensating the Exposure
Use this function when you cannot achieve appropriate exposure due to the difference in
brightness between the subject and the background. Look at the following examples.
Note
•
EV is an abbreviation of [Exposure Value]. It refers to the amount of light given to the CCD by
the aperture value and the shutter speed.
• The exposure compensation value appears on the lower left of the screen.
• The set exposure value is memorized even if the camera is turned off. However, the exposure
value during the Intelligent Auto Mode is not memorized.
• The compensation range of the exposure will be limited depending on the brightness of the
subject.
• Exposure compensation cannot be used when in [STARRY SKY] in Scene Mode.
• Exposure compensation cannot be used when in [EXPRESSIVE], [RETRO], [PURE],
[ELEGANT], [MONOCHROME], [SILHOUETTE] and [CUSTOM] in My Color Mode.
