Exposure compensation can brighten (increased exposure) or darken
(decreased exposure) the standard exposure set by the camera.
Exposure compensation can be set in the <
d
>, <
s
>, and <
f
> shooting
modes. Although you can set the exposure compensation up to ±5 stops in 1/3-
stop increments, the exposure compensation indicator in the viewfinder and on the
LCD panel can only display the setting up to ±3 stops. If you want to set the
exposure compensation setting beyond ±3 stops, use the Quick Control (p.61) or
follow the instructions for [
z2: Expo.comp./AEB
] on the next page.
If the <a> mode and the Auto ISO are both set, see page 211 to set
the exposure compensation.
1
Check the exposure.
Press the shutter button halfway (
0
)
and check the exposure level indicator.
2
Set the exposure compensation amount.
While looking at the viewfinder or
LCD panel, turn the <5> dial.
If it cannot be set, set the <
R
>
switch to the left, then turn the <
5
> dial.
3
Take the picture.
To cancel exposure compensation,
set the exposure level indicator <h/N>
to the standard exposure index (<a>
or <C>).
O Setting Exposure CompensationN
Increased exposure for a brighter image
Decreased exposure for a darker image
If [z2: Auto Lighting Optimizer] (p.182) is set to any setting other than
[Disable], the image may still look bright even if a decreased exposure
compensation for a darker image is set.
The exposure compensation amount will remain in effect even after you
set the power switch to <2>.
After setting the exposure compensation amount, you can prevent the
exposure compensation amount from changing accidentally by setting
the <R> switch to the right.
If the exposure compensation amount exceeds ±3 stops, the end of the
exposure level indicator will display <I> or <J>.
