Setting the EV adjust
The EV adjust menu enables you to set the amount of light that
enters the camera while taking the picture. The EV compensation is
expressed as a single number that is used by the digital camera to
calculate the correct combination of aperture and shutter speed for
producing optimum quality pictures. Setting a higher EV compen-
sation value will over-expose a shot while setting a lower value will
under-expose a shot. Exposure can be adjusted from -2.0 to +2.0.
The value is shown on the LCD display. To change the EV compen-
sation value, do the following:
1. Turn on the camera and switch to picture mode.
2. Press
