Exposure Compensation - Olympus E-620 Instruction Manual

Exposure compensation

In some situations, you may get better results if you manually compensate (adjust) the
exposure value set automatically by the camera. In many cases, bright subjects (such as
snow) will turn out darker than their natural colors. Adjusting toward + makes these subjects
closer to their real shades. For the same reason, adjust toward – when shooting dark
subjects. The exposure can be adjusted in a range of ±5.0 EV.
