Exposure Compensation Exposure compensation is used to alter exposure from the value suggested by the camera to make pictures brighter or darker. 1 Press the rotary multi selector o (exposure compensation). The exposure compensation guide is displayed. Basic Photography and Playback: Auto Mode 2 Use the rotary multi selector to adjust exposure. • When the picture is too dark: adjust the exposure compensation to "+" side. • When the picture is too bright: adjust the exposure compensation to "-" side. • Exposure compensation can be set to values between Exposure compensation -2.0 and +2.0 EV. • If a setting is not applied by pressing k within a few seconds, the selection will be cancelled. 3 The setting is applied. • The H icon is displayed in the monitor. 16 C Exposure Compensation Value When exposure compensation is adjusted in a scene mode, the setting is only enabled until another shooting mode is selected or the camera is turned off. Switching to another shooting mode or turning the camera off returns exposure compensation to 0.0. D Using Exposure Compensation The camera tends to lower exposure when the frame is dominated by brightly lit objects and to increase exposure when the frame is mostly dark. Positive compensation may therefore be required to capture the brilliancy of very bright objects that fill the frame (for example, sunlit expanses of water, sand, or snow) or when the background is much brighter than the main subject. Negative compensation may be called for when large areas of the frame contain very dark objects (for example, a swath of dark green leaves) or when the background is much darker than the main subject. 32
