Tips
•
Often bright subjects (such as snow) will turn out darker than their natural colors. Adjusting towards “+”
makes these subjects closer to their real shades. For the same reason, adjust towards “–” when shooting
dark subjects.
•
We recommend that you return the exposure compensation value to “0.0” after taking a picture with an
adjusted exposure compensation.
•
To save the selected exposure compensation value for the next time you use the camera, set “ALL RESET”
to “OFF.” For details, see “Saving the settings (ALL RESET)” (
g
page 148).
Note
If the flash is used, the image brightness (exposure) may differ from the intended brightness (exposure).
