Exposure compensation is used to alter exposure from the value suggested by the 
camera to make pictures brighter or darker.

Press 

o (exposure compensation).

• The exposure compensation guide is displayed.

Use the multi selector 

H or I to choose the 

desired setting and press the 

k button.

• When the picture is too dark: adjust the exposure 

compensation to “+” side.

• When the picture is too bright: adjust the exposure 

compensation to “–” side.

• Exposure compensation can be set to values between 

-2.0 and +2.0 EV.

• If a setting is not applied by pressing the k button within a few seconds, the 

selection will be cancelled.

• When set to any value other than 0.0, the value is displayed with the H icon in the 

monitor.

Press the shutter-release button to take the 
picture.

• To turn off exposure compensation, repeat from step 1 

and set the value to 0.0, then press 

k.

C

The exposure compensation value applied in A (auto) mode is stored in the camera’s memory even 
after the camera is turned off, and reapplied the next time A (auto) mode is selected.

D

• The camera tends to reduce exposure when the frame is dominated by brightly lit objects and to 

increase exposure when the frame is mostly dark. Positive compensation may therefore be 
required to capture the brilliancy of very bright objects that fill the frame (for example, sunlit 
expanses of water, sand, or snow) or when the background is much brighter than the main 
subject. 

• Negative compensation may be called for when large areas of the frame contain very dark objects 

(for example, a swath of dark green leaves) or when the background is much darker than the main 
subject.
