Exposure compensation is a procedure in which you can intentionally change the
correct exposure setting displayed by the camera. For example, this mode can
be used to shift the exposure in small steps when the subject has high levels of
contrast. On the FinePix S1 Pro, exposure compensation can be performed to ±3
EV in increments of 1/3 of an EV step. (Note that exposure compensation cannot
be used in AUTO mode or in the 5-vari program modes.)

• To cancel exposure compensation, hold down the exposure compensation

button and use the command dial to set the compensation amount to 0, or
reset the camera (

P.56). (Switching the camera off does not cancel

exposure compensation.)

• As a general guide, when the subject (eg. a person) is set against a bright

background, positive exposure compensation should be used. Against a dark
background, negative exposure compensation should be used.
