e Compensation
To modify exposure control (i.e. from the ISO standard), use the exposure
compensation function. This can be useful when intentionally achieving
under- or overexposure. Use Centre-Weighted or Spot Metering.
Exposure compensation can be performed in any exposure mode.
(However in Manual exposure mode, only the electronic analog display changes—selected
shutter speed and aperture do not change.)

Set exposure compensation by rotating the Main-
Command Dial while pressing the

• Electronic analog exposure display indicates the exposure compensation
value and 0 blinks.
• Normally, you should compensate exposure to the + side when the
background is brighter than your main subject, or to the – side when the
background is darker.
• See page 85 for flash exposure compensation where only the flash output
level is compensated.

you can perform Two-Button Reset (page 76). (Turning the power switch off
does not cancel the exposure compensation function.)
