If [
z
2: Auto Lighting Optimizer ] (p.136) 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 <

>.
The exposure compensation amount displayed in the viewfinder goes up
to only ±2 stops. If the exposure compensation amount exceeds ±2
stops, the end of the exposure level indicator will display <

If you want to set exposure compensation exceeding ±2 stops, setting it
with [
z
2: Expo.comp./AEB ] (p.160) or with the Quick Control screen
(p.51) is recommended.
