Casio QV-8000SX User Manual

• Exposure compensation is generally expressed in

terms of an exposure compensation (EV) value. The
exposure compensation value is always set to zero
whenever you turn on the camera.

• Each press of [+] or [–] changes the exposure com-

pensation value by 0.25EV. A change in either direc-
tion is indicated on the monitor screen by arrows
pointing left (negative correction) or right (positive cor-
rection).

• The normal maximum range for exposure compensa-

tion is –2EV to +2EV. Under certain conditions, how-
ever, the camera may impose lower maximum values
when exposure compensation would result in an im-
age that is too dark or too light.

This camera features an program AE function that automati-
cally changes shutter speed and aperture in accordance
with available light. In addition, you can also manually adjust
the exposure to compensate for backlighting, indirect indoor
lighting, dark backgrounds, and other special conditions.

• Pressing [+] or [–] displays an EV indicator that shows

the current exposure compensation setting.

• Pressing [+] makes the image on the monitor screen

brighter. Use it to adjust for dim indoor lighting and
backlighting.

• Pressing [–] makes the image on the monitor screen

darker. Use it to adjust for bright sunlight.

• The EV indicator turns red whenever the compensa-

tion value is at its limit.
