Exposure Compensation - Minolta 3D 1500 Manual

EXPOSURE COMPENSATION

In general the camera sets the exposure setting automatically. But, if necessary, the
exposure can be adjusted to make the final image brighter or darker.
When the image turns out to be too dark or too bright, you can easily compensate
for that by pressing the Up or Down button on the camera.
While in Record mode, press the
Up or Down button to select the
exposure compensation value.
Frame the image, then press the
shutter-release button.
• The exposure compensation values are
displayed in the upper-left corner of the LCD
monitor, replacing the image counter.
• The exposure can be biased as much as +/-
2 EVs in 1/3 EV increments.
• The exposure change is visible in the LCD
monitor.
• The exposure compensation value remains
active after the picture is taken.

• Exposure can only be adjusted in Record mode. Set the exposure compensation
before recording the image. Once the image is captured, it can not be changed in
the camera.
Reset the exposure compensation value to 0 when finished. The exposure
compensation values do not remain in the overlay bar, but the exposure
compensation value remains active.
The exposure compensation value will return to 0 when you turn the camera off
and turn it on again.
