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 85).
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 (N/
L) button and rotate the
command dial until the desired
value is displayed in the
monitor.
Normal exposure can be restored by setting
exposure compensation to ±0. Exposure
compensation is not reset when the camera is
turned off.
