Exposure Value Compensation (EV Comp)
Exposure Value Compensation affects the brightness of your video or
photo. Adjusting this setting can improve image quality when shooting in
environments with contrasting lighting conditions.
Options for this setting range from -2.0 to +2.0. The default setting is 0.
When you change this setting, the touch display immediately shows you
the effect on your image. Higher values result in brighter images.
For Video, this setting is available only if Shutter is set to Auto.
For information about adjusting exposure based on a certain area of your
scene, see Exposure Control (page 71).
PRO TIP: Exposure Value Compensation adjusts brightness within the
existing ISO setting. If brightness has already reached the ISO setting in
a low-light environment, increasing the Exposure Value Compensation
does not have any effect. To continue increasing the brightness, select a
higher ISO value.
Sharpness
Sharpness controls the quality of details captured in your video footage or
photos. Options for this setting are High (default), Medium, and Low.
When you change this setting, the touch display immediately shows you
the effect on your image.
PRO TIP: If you plan to increase sharpness during editing, select Low for
this setting.

RAW Audio
This setting applies only to the Video capture mode and creates a separate
.wav file for your video, in addition to the standard .mp4 audio track. You
can select the level of processing to apply to the RAW audio track. This
setting is useful if you want a separate .wav file to share or
use in post-processing.
Option Description
