Exposure compensation is used to alter exposure from the value

suggested by the camera, making pictures brighter or darker. It

is most effective when used with center-weighted or spot

metering (0 123). Choose from values between –5 EV

(underexposure) and +5 EV (overexposure) in increments of

3 EV. In general, positive values make the subject brighter while

negative values make it darker.

To choose a value for exposure

compensation, press the E button and

rotate the main command dial until the

desired value is displayed.
