Exposure Compensation
Exposure compensation can brighten (increased exposure) or darken
(decreased exposure) the standard exposure set by the camera.
Exposure compensation can be set in the < t >, < d >, < s >, < f >, and
< a > shooting modes. You can set exposure compensation up to ±3 stops
in 1/3-stop increments.
For details on exposure compensation when < a > mode and ISO Auto are
both set, see = 113, and see = 114 for < t > mode.
If [z: Auto Lighting Optimizer] ( = 151) is set to any setting other than
z
[Disable], the image may still look bright even if a decreased exposure
compensation for a darker image is set.
The exposure compensation amount will remain in effect even after you set the
z
power switch to <2>.
