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

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.68)

• 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.
