EXPOSURE COMPENSATION
Exposure meters are calibrated to a normal, i.e. average photographic subject.
If the relevant subject detail does not meet these requirements, for example
large areas of snow or, in the opposite case, a black steam locomotive filling
the frame, and if you wish to bias the exposure identically in such cases for a
number shots, it may be more convenient to apply an appropriate exposure
compensation than to use metering memory lock every time (see previous
section).
1. To set a compensation, press the upper
EV+/-
direction button (1.23) once.
• The corresponding sub-menu appears.
2. Select the desired compensation value with the left and right direction
buttons (1.24/1.27). Values from +3 to -3EV with
1
/
3
EV increments are
available.
• While setting, you can observe the eect as the monitor image gets cor-
respondingly darker or brighter.
3. Confirm the setting by pressing either the shutter release button (1.8) or the
MENU/SET
button (1.25).
• The exposure compensation symbol and the set value (2.1.21) appear.
Notes:
• An exposure compensation cannot be set when using manual exposure
mode (see p. 119)
• The
EV+/-
direction button is also used to call up the menus for exposure
bracketing (see next section) and ash exposure compensation (see p. 130).
They scroll through in an endless loop and can therefore be selected by re-
peatedly pressing the button.
• A set compensation remains active until it is set to
±0
(see step 2.), i.e.
after any number of shots and even if the camera is switched off.
