## Exposure compensation dial

You can adjust the exposure manually in 1/3 EV steps in a range of –3.0 EV to +3.0 EV.

1. Turn the exposure compensation dial to the desired value.

Adjusting the exposure for better looking images
A: Overexposure (too much light)
B: Correct exposure
C: Underexposure (too little light)

- When the image shot is overexposed, adjust [Exposure Comp.] to the minus side.

- When the image shot is underexposed, adjust [Exposure Comp.] to the plus side.

Notes

- If you shoot a subject in extremely bright or dark conditions, or when you use the flash, the exposure adjustment may not be effective.
