Shooting Features
Exposure Compensation (Adjusting Brightness)
You can adjust overall image brightness.
1 Press the multi selector K (o).
2 Select a compensation value and press
the k button.
• To brighten the image, set a positive (+) value.
• To darken the image, set a negative (–) value.
• The compensation value is applied, even without
pressing the k button.
C Exposure Compensation Value
• If the setting is applied in j, k, or l mode, it will remain saved in the camera’s memory
even after the camera is turned off.
• Exposure compensation cannot be used in the following shooting modes:
- When scene mode (A33) is set to Fireworks show, Multiple exp. Lighten, or Night
sky (150 minutes) or Star trails (150 minutes) in Time-lapse movie
- m (manual) mode (A46)
- Manual in u (Movie manual) mode
• When the exposure compensation is set while using the built-in flash, the compensation
is applied to both the background exposure and the flash output.
• Exposure compensation can also be set with the control ring (A174).
C Using the Histogram
A histogram is a graph showing the distribution of tones in the image. Use as a guide when
using exposure compensation and shooting without the flash.
• The horizontal axis corresponds to pixel brightness, with dark tones to the left and bright
tones to the right. The vertical axis shows the number of pixels.
• Increasing exposure compensation value shifts tone distribution to the right, and
decreasing it shifts tone distribution to the left.
