Adjusting the Exposure Compensation

Use the Exposure Compensation dial to control how much light is allowed into the camera. You can adjust the exposure by plus or minus 2 stops in 1/2-stop increments. The Exposure Compensation dial is located on top of the camera.

This optional feature is available in fully automatic or Aperture Priority mode. It is not available in Manual mode.

Note:   This setting is ideal for controlling scenes in which the light source is behind the subject (backlit), or for correcting pictures that are too light or too dark.

Turn the Exposure Compensation dial to the exposure value you want to use. If your pictures are too light, decrease (-) the exposure compensation value. If your pictures are too dark, increase (+) the exposure compensation value.
