If the mode dial of this camera is set to a mode other than < M / buLb >, the camera automatically sets the appropriate exposure value. If you want to adjust the exposure value that is set by the camera, you can use the exposure compensation setting.
Exposure compensation can increase (brighter) or decrease (darker) the standard exposure set by the camera. You can adjust the value if the mode dial is set to < P/Tv/Av >.
NOTE
The range of exposure compensation

- If you compensate for ??????1 stop, the amount of light doubles or halves. For example, if the shutter speed is 1/250 sec., the camera uses the same amount of light for the following values for shooting.
?????????????????? At +1 stop, the shutter speed is 1/125 sec.
?????????????????? At -1 stop, the shutter speed is 1/500 sec.
