EV compensation In difficult lighting conditions, you can use the EV (Exposure Value) Com_nsa_ion setting to override the automatic exposure setting that the camera makes. EV C_mpensafion is useful in backlit scenes involving a person, or in scenesthat contain many light objects (like a white house in the snow) or many dark objects (like a black cat on a dark Background). Scenes containing many light objects or many dark objects could turn out gray without the use of EV Compensation.
Whi_e bamance Different kinds of lighting conditions cast different colors. For example, sunlight is more blue, while indoor tungsten light is more yellow. Scenes dominated by a single color may require an adjustment of the white balance setting to help the camera reproduce colors more accurately and ensure that whites appear white in the final picture. You can also adjust the white balance to produce creative effects.

Appendix A: Bafferies and Managing batteries camera When the batteries are removed from the camera, the date and time settings are preserved for approximately 10 minutes. If the camera is without batteries for longer than 10 minutes, the clock is set to the last date and time at which the camera was used. You may be prompted to update the date and time. The following battery levels may be displayed on the Status LCD and Image Display. Icon i Batteries have 30-100 percent battery life remaining.
Extending baHery _if÷ ® Minimize the use of Live View and video, especially when using alkaline batteries. Use the viewfinder to frame pictures instead of the Image Display. Leave the Image Display off whenever possible. ® Use zoom only when necessary. ® Use the Auto flash setting rather than FJashOn. ® Minimize power cycling. If you expect to average more than one picture every five minutes, leave the camera on rather than turning it off after each shot.
