Exposure Compensation/Backlight Correction
Images can be captured with the overall scene intentionally made brighter or
darker. These settings are used when a suitable brightness (exposure) cannot
otherwise be obtained in circumstances where the difference in brightness
between the subject and the background (the contrast) is large, or when the
subject that you wish to capture is very small within the scene. Exposure can be
set in 0.3 EV units.

the mode dial to [
