EXPOSURE COMPENSATION
The camera exposure can be adjusted to make the final picture lighter or darker by as
much as ±2.0Ev in
Exposure compensation is set on the menu. When set to any value other than 0.0, the
exposure-compensation value remains on the monitor as a warning.
On the movie/audio or manual recording menu, select the
degree of exposure compensation; the live image reflects the
changes. See page 36 for menu operation.
Exposure compensation is used when the camera's
exposure meter is deceived by high-key or low-key subjects.
In the example below, the dark water caused the camera to
overexpose the image making it bright and washed-out. By
compensating the exposure, detail is brought out in the
leaves, and the stones and water appear richer.
