Varying The Image Brightness (Exposure Compensation) - Olympus Camedia AZ-1 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. Often bright subjects (such as snow) will turn out
darker than their natural colors. Adjusting toward + makes these subjects closer to their
real shades. For the same reason, adjust toward – when shooting dark subjects.
Exposure can be adjusted in the range of ±2.0 EV in 1/3 EV steps.
