Setting Exposure Compensation
*:
Exposure compensation can increase (brighter) or decrease (darker)
the standard exposure set by the camera.
Although you can set the exposure compensation up to ±5 stops in 1/3-
stop increments, the exposure compensation indicator on the LCD
panel and in the viewfinder can only display the setting up to ±3 stops. If
you want to set the exposure compensation setting beyond ±3 stops,
you should follow the instructions for [01: Exp. comp./AEB] on the next
page.
