EXPOSURE COMPENSATION 1 P :es F8 Exposure compensation range 4X 2x lx 1,2X 20 1 4X 1000 12 1600 The automatic exposure system of this camera tends to underexpose backlit subjects and overexposed spotlighted subjects on a stage, etc. In such cases, you can compensate by setting the exposure compensation dial. When shooting a subject against a bright background (backlit subjects), increase the exposure by setting the dial either to 2X or 4X. When your subject is spotlighted against a dark background, decrease the exposure by setting the dial to 1 /2X or 1 /4X. To set the dial, turn the knurled ring. Use of the exposure compensation dial changes the shutter speed in Aperture-priority AE mode, the programmed value in Programmed AE mode, and the ± values to which you adjust the exposure, in Manual mode. Exposure compensation dial and Film speed scale At both extremes of the film speed scale, the use of the exposure compensation dial is limited as shown in the chart. Always return the exposure compensation dial to 1X when compensation is no longer required. 6 3200 ISO ISO • 44

by
setting
the
dial
either
to
2X
or
4X.
When
your

is
spotlighted
against
a
dark
background,
decrease
the
exposure
by
setting
the
dial
to
1
/2X
or
1
/4X.
To
set
the
dial,
turn
the
knurled

Use
of
the
exposure
compensation
dial
changes
the
shutter
