Changing the Exposure 

(EXPOSURE COMP.)

The exposure setting allows you to select 
brightness levels for your shots.
Normally, if your subject is centered, back-
light compensation is automatically activated, 
and you can shoot with correct exposure. 
However, in the following cases, or when you 
intentionally want to change the exposure, 
you can change the exposure setting. 
Setting the level higher (+) makes pictures 
brighter and lower (-) makes pictures darker.

For Backlighting
When the background is particularly bright,  
the subject will be dark (under-exposure).
When your subject is whitish
When you photograph a subject that is 
mainly white, it will turn out entirely dark, with 
people appearing dark, and white objects 
appearing grayish.
When your subject is darkish
When you photograph a subject that is 
mainly dark, it will turn out entirely bright 
(over-exposure), with people appearing 
white, and black objects appearing grayish. 
The same happens when you take photos of 
people in a spotlight.
Exposure compensation setting can be 
adjusted by using the ADJ. Button or using 
the Shooting Menu.

• By default, the exposure compensation is 

set to 0.0. The setting value does not 
appear when the default value is set.

• If your subject is not centered when shoot-

ing against light, the camera does not rec-
ognize it in the backlight condition. In this 
case, adjust the exposure compensation 
setting.

To change the exposure compensation set-
ting using the ADJ. Button, follow the steps 
below.
