Adjusting the Camera Exposure

If your pictures seem too dark or too light, you can adjust the amount of light allowed into the camera so your pictures are properly exposed. These adjustments in lighting are called Exposure Compensation.

1. Set the Mode dial to Capture.
2. Slide the POWER switch to the right to turn on the camera.
3. Press the MENU button.

   The LCD displays the main Menu screen.

4. Press a button until the icon is highlighted.

   

5. Press the DO-IT button.

   The LCD displays the Exposure Compensation screen.

6. Press a button to change the exposure number.
   
   
   • If your pictures are too dark, increase (+) the exposure number.
   • If your pictures are too light, decrease (-) the exposure number.

   You can adjust the exposure numbers from +2.0 to -2.0 in 0.5 increments. An increase of 1.0 doubles the amount of light allowed into the camera. A decrease of 1.0 reduces the amount of light allowed into the camera by half.

   

7. Press the DO-IT button.

   

   The main Menu screen reappears and the Exposure Compensation icon appears in the Status Display.

8. To cancel Exposure Compensation, press a button until 0.0 is highlighted, then press the DO-IT button, or turn off the camera.
