Exposure
Use this function when you cannot achieve
appropriate exposure due to the difference
in brightness between the subject and the
background. Look at the following
examples.
Under exposed
Compensate the exposure towards
positive.
Properly exposed
Over exposed
Compensate the exposure towards
negative.
1 Press 3 [ ] until [EXPOSURE]
appears, compensate the
exposure with 2/1.
• You can compensate from [j2EV] to
[i2 EV] in steps of [1/3 EV].
• Select [0 EV] to return to the original
exposure.
2 Press [MENU/SET] to finish.
• You can also press the shutter
button halfway to finish.
• EV is an abbreviation of “Exposure Value”.
It refers to the amount of light given to the
CCD by the aperture value and the shutter
speed.
• The exposure compensation value
appears on the lower left of the screen.
• The set exposure value is memorized
even if the camera is turned off.

will be limited depending on the
brightness of the subject.

using [STARRY SKY] in scene mode.

exposure can be compensated directly
using the front dial or rear dial.
