NOTES
• Exposure adjustment is generally expressed in terms
of an exposure adjustment value. The exposure ad-
justment value is always set to zero whenever you
turn on the camera.
• The exposure adjustment value is changed by 0.25EV
with each press of [+] or [–]. The range of the value is
–2EV to +2EV.
• The exposure adjustment value automatically reverts
to zero whenever the shutter button is pressed. You
can manually reset the exposure adjustment value by
using [+] and [–] to change the value back to zero,
which is indicated when the bar graph disappears from
the monitor. EV shift is fixed during panorama record-
ing.
• Shutter speed and aperture is fixed whenever an EV
shift setting is made.
IMPORTANT!
• When the exposure adjustment is too bright or too
dark, you may not be able to adjust within the range of
–2EV to +2EV.
• The aperture setting of this camera switches auto-
matically in accordance with available lighting when
an image is recorded. The switching operation causes
the camera to emit a noise. This is normal and does
not indicate malfunction.
