40
Shooting Features
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.
• When the shooting mode is smart portrait
mode, the glamour retouch screen is
displayed instead of the exposure compensation screen (A29).
• When the shooting mode is A (auto) mode, the creative slider is displayed
instead of the exposure compensation screen (A33).
C Exposure Compensation Value
• The setting may not be available with some shooting modes (A41).
• If the setting is applied in A (auto) mode, it will remain saved in the camera’s
memory even after the camera is turned off.
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 the exposure compensation value shifts the tone distribution to the
right, and decreasing it shifts the tone distribution to the left.
