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, the exposure compensation indicator in the viewfinder and on the 
LCD panel can only display the setting up to ±3 stops. If you want to set the 
exposure compensation setting beyond ±3 stops, use the Quick Control (p.61) or 
follow the instructions for [z2: Expo.comp./AEB] on the next page.
If the <a> mode with the Auto ISO set, see page 223 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.

 

To cancel exposure compensation, 
set the exposure level indicator <h/N> 
to the standard exposure index (<a> 
or <C>).

 Setting 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 exposure compensation amount will remain in effect even after you 
set the power switch to <2>.

 

After setting the exposure compensation amount, you can prevent the 
exposure compensation amount from changing accidentally by setting 
the <R> switch to the right.

 

If the exposure compensation amount exceeds ±3 stops, the end of the 
exposure level indicator will display <J/ >  or  <I/ >.
