(5) ABOUT EXPOSURE COMPENSATION SNOU.ViBd0 033NVA01/ HyP ei s l e (S) • ki fa_ 21 Av •-• The exposure compensation system is used to deliberately overexpose (brighten) or underexpose (darken) a subject or to compensate for an exposure which even the multipattern metering function cannot correctly evaluate. Pressing the exposure compensation button [ 1 displays the exposure indicator and the initial compensation value on the LCD panel. Display the desired compensation by rotating the Tv direct dial while pressing the exposure compensation button. * You can compensate in 0.3 EV steps within the range -4 EV to +4 EV. • The exposure indicator is calibrated from -2 EV to + 2 EV (in 0.3 EV step). If the compensation exceeds this range, the [ O 1 or [ O 1 indicator blinks. • When exposure compensation is being used, the [ eexposure indicator appears on the LCD panel and 1 appears in the viewfinder. • Exposure compensation is not canceled even if the main switch is set to [ O 1. • If the main switch is set to • 1, the exposure compensation system has no effect. • Using a Pentax function, you can change the exposure compensation increment from 0.3 EV to 0.5 EV step. In this case, the [ O 1 or O indicator blinks when the compensation exceeds +3 EV. (See page 87.) rgi • By pressing the exposure compensation button and metering button [ C 1 simultaneously, the LCD panel will stay illuminated for about 5 seconds.

to
compensate
for

displays
the
exposure
indicator
and
the
initial
compensation
value
on
the
LCD
panel.
Display
the
desired
compensation
by
rotating
the
Tv
direct
dial
while
pressing
the
exposure
compensation
button.
*
You
can
compensate
in
0.3
EV
steps
within
the
range
—4
EV
to
+4
EV.
•
The
exposure
indicator
is
calibrated
from

EV
(in
0.3
