Adjusting the Exposure (EV Compensation)
You can manually adjust the exposure determined by the digital camera. Use this mode when the proper
exposure cannot be obtained, for example, when the contrast (different between light and dark) between
the subject and the background is extremely large.
The EV compensation value can be set in the range from-2.0EV to +2.0EV.

3. Use ▲ or ▼ to set the range of EV compensation
value from -2.0EV to +2.0EV, then press the
SHUTTER button.
