29. EXPOSURE COMPENSATION
Exposure compensation is applicable for the Self-timer mode, Multi Exposure
mode, Auto Bracketing mode, Continuous Shooting mode and Normal mode
in Auto operation only. For more information, refer to "Up/Down Buttons
Operations" on page 5. When there is excessive contrast between the subject
and the background, the subject may be underexposed (dark) or overexposed
(light). When this occurs, or when you cannot bring the camera close to the
subject, exposure compensation can be used. (Use the AE lock when you can
bring the camera close to the subject. Refer to page 31.) Also, an image may
come out gray when white or black is dominant. The light and dark colors of
your picture can be shot correctly by using this mode. You can also shoot
underexposed or overexposed pictures intentionally. Exposure compensation
can be set within the range of _4.0 EV in 0.5 EV increments

· Naturally, exposure compensation cannot be set in Manual operation because
the desired compensation can be deliberately selected by looking at the
exposure indicator when setting the aperture and shutter speed.
Shooting in Backlit Conditions In backlit conditions the subject will be
underexposed because of the very bright background. Set the exposure
compensation to a plus (+) value depending on the lighting conditions.
