Set exposure compensation if the exposure (without flash) does not 

come out as desired. This feature can be used in Creative Zone modes 

(except <a>). You can set the exposure compensation up to ±5 stops* 

in 1/3-stop increments.

If the <a> mode and ISO Auto are both set, see page 198 to set the 

exposure compensation.

* In Live View shooting/movie shooting, or when [s: Shooting screen] is set to 

[Guided], exposure compensation can be set up to ±3 stops.



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 downward, then turn the <5> 

dial.



For exposure compensation, the 

<O> icon will be displayed in the 

viewfinder and on the LCD monitor.

compensation, set the compensation 

amount back to <E>.

Setting the Desired Exposure CompensationN

Increased exposure 

for a brighter image

Decreased exposure 

for a darker image



If [z2: Auto Lighting Optimizer] (p.175) is set to any setting other than 

[Disable], the image may still look bright even if a decreased exposure 

compensation for a darker image is set.



The set exposure compensation level will not be applied to movie shooting.



When you set the power switch to <2>, the exposure compensation 

setting will be canceled.



After setting the exposure compensation amount, you can set the 

<R> switch upward to prevent the exposure compensation amount 

from changing inadvertently.



The exposure compensation amount displayed in the viewfinder and on 

the LCD panel goes up to only ±2 stops. If the exposure compensation 

amount exceeds ±2 stops, the end of the exposure level indicator will 

display <I> or <J>.



If you want to set exposure compensation exceeding ±2 stops, setting it 

with [z2: Expo.comp./AEB] (p.206) is recommended.
