Compensating the Exposure
Use this function when you cannot achieve appropriate exposure due to the difference in 
brightness between the subject and the background. Look at the following examples.
Note
EV is an abbreviation of [Exposure Value]. It refers to the amount of light given to the CCD by 
the aperture value and the shutter speed.
The exposure compensation value appears on the lower left of the screen.
The set exposure value is memorised even if the camera is turned off.
The compensation range of the exposure will be limited depending on the brightness of the 
subject.
Exposure compensation cannot be used when in [STARRY SKY] in Scene Mode.
