Exposure compensation can brighten (increased exposure) or darken 
(decreased exposure) the standard exposure set by the camera.
Exposure compensation can be set in the <d>, <s>, and <f> 
shooting modes. Although you can set the exposure compensation up 
to ±5 stops in 1/3-stop increments for viewfinder shooting, the exposure 
compensation indicator in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel can 
display the setting only up to ±3 stops. If you want to set the exposure 
compensation setting beyond ±3 stops, use the Quick Control (p.64) or 
follow the instructions for [z2: Expo.comp./AEB] on page 257.
If the <a> mode and ISO Auto are both set, see page 252 to set the 
exposure compensation.

 

Press the shutter button halfway 
(0) and check the exposure level 
indicator.

 

While looking at the viewfinder or 
LCD panel, turn the <5> dial.

 

If it cannot be set, set the <R> 
switch to the left, then turn the <5> 
dial.
