Description

Manual Exposure Compensation

Solution

 

Manual Exposure Compensation

Exposure compensation can brighten (increased exposure) or darken (decreased exposure) the standard exposure set by the camera.

Exposure compensation is available in Flexible-priority AE, Program AE, Shutter-priority AE, Aperture-priority AE, and Manual exposure modes.

For details on exposure compensation when Manual exposure mode and ISO Auto are both set, see M: Manual Exposure, and see Fv: Flexible-Priority AE for Flexible-priority AE mode.

  1. Check the exposure.

    • Press the shutter button halfway and check the exposure level indicator.

  2. Set the compensation amount.

    Increased exposure, to brighten images

    Decreased exposure, to darken images

    • Set it by looking at the screen as you turn the Quick control dial 1 dial.
    • A [Exposure compensation] icon is displayed to indicate exposure compensation.

  3. Take the picture.

    • To cancel exposure compensation, set the exposure level [Exposure level] to the standard exposure index ([Standard exposure index]).

Caution

  • If [Shooting: Auto Lighting Optimizer] () is set to any setting other than [Disable], the image may still look bright even if decreased exposure compensation is set to darken images.

Note

  • The exposure compensation amount will remain in effect even after you set the power switch to Power off.
