Varying The Image Brightness (Exposure Compensation) - Olympus Stylus 400 Digital Reference Manual

Varying the image brightness (Exposure compensation)

In some situations, you may get better results when the exposure that the
camera sets is compensated (adjusted) manually. You can adjust the
brightness in the range of ±2.0 in 1/3 steps. When the setting is changed, you
can check the result on the monitor.
