Exposure Compensation
Using Exposure Compensation
The Exposure Compensation function is available primarily for the semi-auto and
auto exposure modes (Av, Tv, and P), but it can also be used in manual exposure
mode. Compensation can be set from -5 to +5 EV in either 1/3, 1/2 or 1 EV
increments. By default, exposure compensation is applied in 1/3 EV increments.
(To change this to 1/2, or 1 EV increments, press the top rear key and then select
Capture Setup> EV Steps > 1/3, 1/2 or 1. Note that this setting is global.)
The EV value applied is displayed on the top screen and in the viewfinder
display and remains fixed, regardless of the number of captures. To remove
any exposure compensation applied, access the function again and set the
value to 0 (zero).
Exposure Compensation can be selected from the camera’s top-screen by
touch or the Front Key and applied by scrolling through the value (EV value)
using the rear or Side Dials.
Exposure Compensation Quick Set in Auto
In the semi-auto modes, where either the Aperture or Shutter Speed is set
automatically by the camera, the redundant dial may be reconfigured to modal
operation, for setting the Exposure Compensation function for example. The
change in function is applied automatically when selecting the semi-auto or
auto exposure modes. Access the XF menu from the top screen (or IQ screen)
and select UI Setup > Control Setup >Front / Side Dial > In Auto > ExpComp.
The Rear dial, by default, alters the ISO sensitivity, but if this function is
subsequently set to Auto (by touching the ISO icon, and selecting O > Auto),
the dial can be reconfigured in the same way as the others to adjust Exposure
Compensation in the Auto ISO mode.
