Adjusting the image quality and exposure
Exposure compensation
This function allows you to make fine changes to the present exposure setting
using the arrow pad. In some situations, you may get better results when the
exposure that the camera sets is compensated (adjusted) manually. You can
adjust the exposure in the range of ±2.0 in 1/3 EV steps. When the setting is
changed, you can check the result on the monitor or viewfinder.
1 Press bd to select a setting.
• Adjust toward +: Press d to adjust up to
+2.0 in 1/3 EV steps.
• Adjust toward –: Press b to adjust up to
-2.0 in 1/3 EV steps.
TIPS
• Often bright subjects (such as snow) will turn out darker than their
natural colors. Adjusting toward + makes these subjects closer to
their real shades. For the same reason, adjust toward – when
shooting dark subjects.
• You can set the aperture by pressing bd in M mode.
g“Manual shooting” (P.76)
• If the flash is used, the image brightness (exposure) may differ from
the intended brightness.
• Exposure compensation cannot correct the image if the
surroundings of the subject are extremely bright or dark.
