Page 19: Exposure Compensation
OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS Exposure Compensation Whenever the P Mode, A Mode, S Mode, or Best Shot Mode is selected as the exposure mode, you can adjust the expo- sure compensation value (EV value) within the range shown below in order to compensate for current lighting conditions. As a rule of thumb, you should use a positive value to com- pensate for a bright colored subject and a negative value for a dark colored subject. - Page 20 OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS • Rocking the control button to the left decreases the EV value. A lower EV value is best for black and dark col- ored subjects. • An EV value setting you make remains in effect until you change it. To cancel exposure compensation, use the control button to change the EV value to zero so indicator disappears.
