Exposure compensation is used to alter the standard exposure set by the camera. You can make the image look brighter (increased exposure) or darker (decreased exposure). You can set the exposure compensation up to +/-2 stops in 1/3-stop increments.
If [C.Fn II -4: Auto Lighting Optimizer] is set to a setting other than [3: Disable], the image may look bright even if a decreased exposure compensation or flash exposure compensation has been set.
- The exposure compensation amount will remain in effect even after you set the power switch to <OFF>.
- Take care not to turn the <> dial and change the exposure compensation inadvertently. To prevent this, set the power switch to <ON>.
- The exposure compensation can also be set with [ Expo. comp./ AEB] menu
