+/- Exposure/Flash EV compensation of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5,
2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, etc. (up to 5.0), plus or minus
▪ 1 step: +/- Exposure/Flash EV compensation of 1.0, 2.0,
3.0, 4.0, 5.0, plus or minus
My Recommendation: The factory default for Exp comp/
fine tune is 1/3 step. Most shooters will leave it set to 1/3 step
since that allows fine control over the amount of exposure or
flash compensation. Like the two previous Custom settings
(b1 and b2), b3 allows you to have fine or coarse control over
compensation values. 1/3 step EV seems to be the best for
most of us.
Easy Exposure Compensation
Custom setting b4 (D300S and D300)
(User’s Manual – D300S page 271; D300 page 276)
Easy exposure compensation took me a bit of thinking to
wrap my brain around. The bottom line is that you can set the
camera exposure compensation without using the +/-
Exposure compensation button.
There are three settings in Easy exposure compensation, as
follows: Reset On (Auto reset), On, and Off. Here are the
screens and steps used to configure Easy exposure
compensation (see Figure 4-20):
