You can adjust the exposure compensation value (EV) within the range 

of -2EV to +2EV in order to compensate for current lighting conditions. 

This  setting  can  be  used  to  obtain  better  result  when  shooting  with 

backlighting, indirect indoor lighting, a dark background, etc.

Set the Mode selector to Manual and turn on the camera.

NOTE:

• A higher EV value is best used for light-colored subjects and backlit subjects. A 

lower EV value is best for dark-colored subjects and for shooting outdoors on a 

clear day.

• When  shooting  under  very  dark  or  very  bright  conditions,  you  may  not 

be  able  to  obtain  satisfactory  results  even  after  performing  exposure 

compensation.

You can also set picture resolution and compression in Auto mode.

Set the Mode selector to Auto and turn on the camera.

NOTE:

Scene  complexity  affects  a  picture’s  fi le  size.  For  example,  a  picture  of 

trees in autumn has a larger fi le size than a picture of blue sky at the same 

resolution  and  quality  setting.  Therefore,  the  number  of  pictures  you  can 

store on the camera internal memory or a memory card may vary. The number 
of pictures on the LCD screen is for reference only.
