[REC] mode:

Compensating the 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.

Note

• 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 set exposure value is memorised even if the camera is turned off. However, the exposure

value during the Intelligent Auto Mode is not memorised.

• The compensation range of the exposure will be limited depending on the brightness of the

subject.

• Rotate the rear dial slowly but surely.

• When the aperture and shutter speed values are displayed in the screen in the Programme AE

mode, Programme Shift operation and Exposure Compensation operation is switched every

time the rear dial is pressed.

• In the Aperture-Priority AE mode, Aperture Setting Operation (P84) and Exposure

Compensation operation is switched every time the rear dial is pressed.

• In the Shutter-Priority AE mode, Shutter Speed Setting Operation (P85) and Exposure

Compensation operation is switched every time the rear dial is pressed.

• In Quick Menu (P30) in [ ] (LCD monitor style), after selecting the Exposure Compensation

display using 2/1 or the rear dial, you can compensate the exposure with 3/4.

• In Quick Menu in [ ] (Finder style), after selecting the Exposure Compensation display using

the rear dial or 2/1, pressing the rear dial or [MENU/SET] will allow you to compensate the

exposure with the rear dial or 2/1.
