How to set exposure compensation

Solution

Exposure compensation is used to alter the camera's standard exposure setting. While looking through the viewfinder, you can use either the dial or the <+/-> button to set the exposure compensation amount. Any exposure compensation amount that you set can later be changed or canceled with the dial or the <+/-> button. The exposure compensation amount can be set up to +/-3 stops in 1/3 stop increments
Set the switch to <ON>

Focus the subject and check the exposure level

Turn the dial to set the desired exposure compensation amount

  • The exposure compensation icon (+/-) and exposure level indicator will be displayed in the viewfinder while the exposure level indicator will be displayed in the viewfinder, while the exposure level indicator will be displayed on the LCD panel
  • Turn the dial while pressing the shutter button halfway or with 6sec. after releasing the shutter button
  • On the viewfinder's exposure level scale, any position above the correct exposure index indicates overexposure and any position below it indicates underexposure. On the LCD panel, any position on the + side indicates overexposure and any position on the - side indicates underexposure.
  • To cancel exposure compensation, set the amount to the correct exposure index
  • Take the picture

Exposure Compensation with the <+/-> Button

Exposure compensation can also be set with the <+/-> button and the dial

Press the <+/-> button and turn the dial within 6 seconds to set the desired exposure compensation amount
