Exposure
Your camera adjusts the exposure of each
scene automatically. However, when the sub-
ject is too dark or too bright, you can manually
adjust the camera to make the subject appears
brighter or darker. This is called EV compensa-
tion. The EV compensation of your camera can
be adjusted from -1.8EV to +1.8EV. To select
the EV compensation you wish, first press the button. Then increase or
decrease the EV compensation depending on what you need by using the
or the button and press OK.
