Exposure compensation
This function allows you to make fine changes to the present exposure setting
using the arrow pad. In some situations, you may get better results when the
exposure that the camera sets is compensated (adjusted) manually. You can
adjust the exposure in the range of ±2.0 in 1/3 EV steps. When the setting is
changed, you can check the result on the monitor or viewfinder.
