Exposure compensation is used to alter exposure from
the value suggested by the camera to make pictures
brighter or darker.
• When the subject is too dark: tap 4" to adjust the
exposure compensation to "+" side.
• When the subject is too bright: tap m to adjust the
exposure compensation to "-" side.
• Exposure compensation can be set to values between -2.0 and +2.0 EV.
At settings other than 0.0, the indicator for the current setting is displayed in the
monitor (_ g).
[] Exposure Compensation Value
The exposure compensation value applied in I_1 (auto) mode is stored in the camera's memory even
after the camera is turned off, and reapplied the next time I_1 (auto) mode is selected.
The exposure compensation value applied in any scene mode or smile mode reverts to 0.0
whenever another shooting mode is selected or the camera is turned off.
[] Using Exposure Compensation
The camera tends to lower exposure when the frame is dominated by brightly lit o_ects and to
increase exposure when the frame is mostly dark, Positive compensation may there_re be required
to capture the brilliancy of very bright o_ects that fill the frame (_r exam pie, sunlit expanses of
water, sand, or snow) or when the background is much brighter than the main su_ect, Negative
corn pensation may be called for when large areas of the frame contain very dark objects (for
example, a swath of dark green leaves) or when the background is much darker than the main
subject,
