NOTES
• Exposure compensation is generally expressed in
terms of an exposure compensation (EV) value. The
exposure compensation value is always set to zero
whenever you turn on the camera.
• Each press of [ ] or [ ] changes the exposure com-
pensation value by 1/3EV. A change in either direction
is indicated on the monitor screen by arrows pointing
left (negative correction) or right (positive correction).
• The normal maximum range for exposure compensa-
tion is –2EV to +2EV. Under certain conditions, how-
ever, the camera may impose lower maximum values
when exposure compensation would result in an im-
age that is too dark or too light.
