[REC] mode: ³±´¿n Compensating the Exposure Use this function when you cannot achieve correct exposure due to the difference in brightness between the subject and the background. Look at the following examples. Under exposed Properly exposed Overexposed Compensate the exposure towards positive. Compensate the exposure towards negative. 1 Move 3 [È] until [EXPOSURE] appears, compensate the exposure with 2/1. • Select [0 EV] to return to the original exposure. 2 Press [MENU/SET] to finish. • You can also press the shutter button halfway to finish. Note • EV is an abbreviation of [Exposure Value]. It refers to the amount of light given to the CCD by the aperture value and the shutter speed. • The exposure compensation value appears on the lower left of the screen. • The set exposure value is memorized even if the camera is turned off. • The compensation range of the exposure will be limited depending on the brightness of the subject. • Exposure can also be compensated by touching the exposure compensation set bar when in aperture-priority AE or shutter-priority AE. 52 VQT1Q36
