EV Compensation In difficult lighting conditions, you can use EV (Exposure Value) Compensation to override the automatic exposure setting that the camera makes. EV Compensation is useful in scenes that contain many light objects (like a white house in the snow) or many dark objects (like a black cat on a dark background). Scenes containing many light objects or many dark objects could turn out gray without the use of EV Compensation. For a scene with many light objects, increase the EV Compensation to a positive number to produce a brighter result. For a scene with many dark objects, decrease the EV Compensation to darken the scene to be closer to black. 1 In the Capture menu (page 40), select EV Compensation. 2 In the EV Compensation menu, use the buttons to change the EV setting in 0.33 steps from -3.0 to +3.0. The new setting is applied to the Live View screen behind the menu, so you should be able to see the effect the setting will have on the picture. 3 Press OK to save the setting and return to the Capture menu. If the setting is anything other than the default setting of 0 (zero), the number value will appear in the Live View screen next to the icon. The new setting remains in effect until it is changed again or until the camera is turned off (unless EV Compensation is checked in the Remembered Settings menu - see page 90). 42 HP Photosmart 945 User's Manual

(like a black cat on a dark background). Scenes containing
many light objects or many dark objects could turn out gray
without the use of EV Compensation. For a scene with many
light objects, increase the EV Compensation to a positive
number to produce a brighter result. For a scene with many
dark objects, decrease the EV Compensation to darken the
scene to be closer to black.
