To modify exposure control (i.e. from the ISO standard), use the Exposure
Compensation function. This can be useful when intentionally achieving under-
or overexposure to obtain a specific photographic effect. This camera offers
compensation of –3 EV to +3 EV in 1/2 steps.
• Exposure Compensation can be set in
P
,
S
,
A
and Vari-Program.
Compensate to the + side to brighten, and the – side to darken overall picture to obtain
the specific photographic effect you desire.

exposure mode.
• Once the Exposure Compensation is set in each

changed.
• In any of the exposure modes, both flash output level for the flash illuminated
subject and exposure on the background are bracketed when a Speedlight is used.
