Exposure compensation can be set in the [P], [Tv], and [Av] shooting modes. Although you can set the exposure compensation up to ±5 stops in 1/3- stop increments, the exposure compensation indicator in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel can only display the setting up to ±3 stops. If you want to set the exposure compensation setting beyond ±3 stops, use the Quick Control or [ : Expo.comp./AEB] .

IMPORTANT

If the [M] mode and the Auto ISO are both set, it will not be possible to make the settings using the procedure explained below. In this case, please refer to the [Manual Exposure] section in the camera’s instruction manual.

4. While looking at the viewfinder or LCD panel, turn the [ ] dial to adjust the amount of exposure compensation.

: Standard

: Decreased exposure for a darker image

: Increased exposure for a brighter image

　

IMPORTANT

If [ : Auto Lighting Optimizer] is set to any setting other than [Disable], the image may still look bright even if a decreased exposure compensation for a darker image is set.

NOTE

• The exposure compensation amount will remain in effect even after you set the power switch to [OFF].
• After setting the exposure compensation amount, you can prevent the exposure compensation amount from changing accidentally by setting the [ ] switch to the right.
• If the exposure compensation amount exceeds ±3 stops, the end of the exposure level indicator will display [ ] or [ ].
