Setting Exposure Compensation *:
Exposure compensation can increase (brighter) or decrease (darker)

up to ±5 stops in 1/3-
stop increments, the exposure compensation indicator on the LCD
panel and
in the viewfinder can only display the setting up to ±3 stops. If

you should follow the instructions for
