of nature that includes dense tree branches or leaves, or an image of a complex

You can manually adjust an image’s exposure value (EV value) before shooting it.
• EV Compensation Range: –2.0 EV to +2.0 EV
• Unit: 1/3 EV
1. Use [ ] and [ ] to adjust the exposure compensation value.
To cancel exposure compensation, change the EV value to 0.0.
2. Press [SET].
This applies the exposure compensation value. The exposure compensation
value you set remains in effect until you change it or turn off the camera (which
causes it to revert to “0.0”).

• When shooting under very dark or very bright conditions, you may not be able to
obtain satisfactory results even after performing exposure compensation.
