 Exposure, image and color

In some situations, you may get better results if you manually compensate (adjust) the 
exposure value set automatically by the camera. In many cases, bright subjects (such as 
snow) will turn out darker than their natural colors. Adjusting toward + makes these subjects 
closer to their real shades. For the same reason, adjust toward 

- when shooting dark 

subjects. The exposure can be adjusted in range of ±5.0 EV.

While holding down the F (exposure compensation) button, use the control dial to set 
the compensation value.

set using the control dial only.
