Exposure Compensation - Minolta Dimage X20 Instruction Manual

EXPOSURE COMPENSATION

The camera exposure can be adjusted to make the final picture lighter or
darker by as much as ±2Ev in 1/3 increments with still image and movie
recording. The exposure-compensation value will remain in effect until it has
been reset. Exposure compensation can be set on the main menu of the
recording-mode (p. 34). Exposure compensation can be controlled with left/right key with
customizing key function (P.50).
The exposure compensation must be set before the image is captured. When setting the
exposure compensation, the amount of compensation is shown next to the exposure-
compensation icon on the monitor. When set to any value other than 0.0, the icon will
remain on the LCD monitor as a warning.
Use the up/down controller keys to adjust the
exposure-compensation value.
The LCD monitor will display the exposure-compensation
icon and value. The change in exposure is visible in the
monitor image. Exposure compensation is set automatically
after five seconds or when another camera button is pressed.
