Taking pictures
This is how it works:
Exposure compensation
Automatic exposure can be
compensated over a range
of +2.0 to –2.0.
Press the MENU button on
the camera back and use the
four-way control to select
the Exposure mode. In the
EV subprogram you then
can choose between the
following compensation
values: +2.0, +1.5, +1.0,
+0.5, -0.5, -1.0, -1.5 and
–2.0. Press the Right arrow
of the four-way control
to make your selection.

This is what it's for:
Experiment with exposure
compensation to optimize
your digital images. Slight
compensation (for example
by +/- 0.5) may be useful,
above all if you wish to print
out your pictures directly, i.e.
without subsequent
manipulation by PC
image-processing software,
be it on your own printer or
through an Internet printing
service, since different
printers and printer software
interpret digital images
differently (and might print
your pictures too bright or
too dark).
Note: If you wish to avoid
flash in low light, a certain
amount of underexposure
may give you shake-free
images because the camera
will then use a faster shutter
speed. PC image-processing
software is capable of
correcting such under-
exposure.
