Controlling Exposure Exposure Compensation Use Exposure Compensation to modify exposure control, (for example, from the ISO standard).

Press and hold and rotate the Main-Command dial until the desired compensation value appears (-3 EV to +3 EV in 1/2 steps). Normally you should compensate exposure to the + side when the background is brighter than the main subject, or to the - side when the background is darker.
