Exposure Compensation
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
1
/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 in the
viewfinder or top control
panel.
