Exposure Compensation - Minolta DiMAGE F300 Instruction Manual

Exposure compensation

The camera exposure can be adjusted to make the final picture lighter or darker by as much as ±2Ev
in 1/3 increments. For information on the use of exposure compensation, see page 74. In auto-
recording mode, exposure compensation is reset when the mode dial is moved to another position. In
multi-function recording mode exposure compensation will remain in effect until it has been reset.
Exposure compensation must be set before the image is captured. When making adjustments to
exposure, the amount of compensation is shown next to the exposure-compensation indicator on the
monitor. After the setting is made, the shutter-speed and aperture displays will indicate the actual
exposure. Because the exposure can be adjusted in fine steps, the shutter speed or aperture value
displayed may not change. When set to any value other than 0.0, the exposure-compensation indica-
tor will remain on the data panel and LCD monitor as a warning.
To adjust the exposure, press the exposure-compensation button (1). The exposure-compensation
screen will appear.
