Exposure Compensation (EV Shift)
Exposure compensation lets you change the exposure set-
ting (EV value) manually to adjust for the lighting of your sub-
ject. This feature helps to achieve better results when re-
cording a backlit subject, a strongly lit subject indoors, and a
subject that is against a dark background.
Exposure Compensation Range: 2.0EV to +2.0EV
Steps: 1/3EV
1.
In a recording mode,
press [ ] and [ ].
This causes the
exposure compensation
value to appear on the
monitor screen.
EV value
Press [ ] to increase the EV value. A higher EV value is
best used for light-colored subjects and backlight subjects.
Press [ ] to decrease the EV value. A lower EV value is
best for dark-color subjects and for shooting outdoors on
a clear day.
To cancel exposure compensation, adjust the value
until it becomes zero.
2.
Compose the image and then press the shutter
relese button.
IMPORTANT!
When shooting under very dark or very bright condi-
tions, you may not be able to obtain satisfactory re-
sults even after performing exposure compensation.
