3.1.7. Changing the Exposure Compensation
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.
The [ ] Exposure Compensation button can select “Normal capturing mode”,
“Backlight compensation capturing mode” and “Exposure compensation adjusting mode”
cycling.
1. Set the mode dial to one of [P], [TV], [AV] and power on the camera.
2. Toggle the [ ] button to select exposure compensation mode or backlight
compensation mode.
3. When exposure compensation mode is seleced, rotate the Command dial to adjust the
exposure, and press the [ ] button again to confirm.
• Rotate the Command dial to counter clockwise direction to decrease (darken) exposure,
and rotate the Command dial to clockwise direction to increase (brighten) exposure.
4. Compose the picture, press the shutter button down halfway, and press it down fully.
