EV Compensation
The Exposure Value (EV) system is a method of stating exposure settings by means of
a single number instead of the traditional f-stops and shutter speeds. All combinations
of lens openings and shutter speeds given the same exposure represents a single number.
This camera automatically chooses the most appropriate EV value for a given situation.
However, the EV value can also be manually compensated as follows:
1. Make sure the camera is in Record mode.
2. The LCD panel shows the EV Compensation scale. Press the EV / + or the / - button
(located at the left side of the LCD panel on the back of the camera) to select a
higher or lower value.
Note
●
The effective EV Compensation range of this camera is from -1EV to +1EV in 0.5 EV steps.
●
Increasing the EV Compensation value results in a brighter picture.
●
Decreasing the EV Compensation value results in a darker picture.
