Ev Compensation - HP 730 User Manual

EV compensation
In difficult lighting conditions, you can use the EV (Exposure
Value) Com_nsa_ion setting to override the automatic
exposure setting that the camera makes.
EV C_mpensafion is useful in backlit scenes involving a person,
or in scenesthat contain many light objects (like a white house
in the snow) or many dark objects (like a black cat on a dark
Background). Scenes containing many light objects or many
dark objects could turn out gray without the use of EV
Compensation. For a scene with many light objects, increase
the EV Compensation to a positive number to produce a
Brighter result. For a scene with many dark objects, decrease
the EV Compensation to darken the scene to be closer to Black.
