If [

[ Disable ], the image may still look bright even if a decreased exposure
compensation for a darker image is set.

After setting the exposure compensation amount, you can prevent the
exposure compensation amount from changing accidentally by setting
the <

If you want to set exposure compensation exceeding ±2 stops, setting it
with [

(p.57) is recommended.
