Using the aperture priority AE mode
You can use the AE (Auto Exposure) function to automatically adjust the
brightness level of still images. The following three AE modes are available:
• aperture priority
• shutter priority, and

AE compensation function to finely adjust the AE-adjusted brightness level.

"OFF" in the FLASH menu.
