Using the DC S40

3.1.9.10 Exposure Value

This setting allows you to intentionally lighten or

darken the entire image. Use this setting when the

optimum brightness (exposure) cannot be obtained,

for example, when the brightness between the

subject and the background is not balanced or when

the subject to photograph occupies only an

extremely small part of the screen.

EV BIAS: Press the macro and flash

buttons to adjust the EV from -2.0 to +2.0.

Effective Subjects and Set Values

Positive (+) Compensation

• Copying of printed text (black characters on white paper)

• Backlit portraits

• Very bright scenes (such as snowfields) and highly reflective subjects

• Shots made up predominantly of sky

Negative (-) Compensation

• Spotlit subjects, particularly against dark backgrounds

• Copying of printed text (white characters on black paper)

• Scenes with low reflectivity, such as shots of green or dark foliage

Notes

• In “Exposure compensation”, the default value is “0.0EV”. The setting range is as fol-

lows:

-2.0 / -1.6 / -1.3 / -1.0 /- 0.6 / -0.3 / 0 (default) / +0.3 / +0.6/ +1.0 / +1.3 / +1.6 / +2.0

• Exposure Compensation cannot be set in mode.

• The ideal brightness sometimes cannot be obtained even if a large exposure value is

set in dark photographic conditions. In this case, you can check the brightness in the

preview image directly (photographed still image).
