Basic Photography: Exposure Compensation39Exposure CompensationTo obtain the desired result with certain subject compositions,particularly those containing complex patterns of light and shadeor areas of high contrast, it may be necessary to use exposurecompensation to modify the exposure value suggested by thecamera. Exposure compensation is available in both A-RECand M-REC.Exposure compensation can be set to values between +2.0 EV(overexposure) and –2.0 EV (underexposure) in increments of1/3 EV.To cancel exposure compensation, set the compensation valueto ±0.0 EV.By default, exposure compensation returns to ±0.0 when the camera isturned off. In M-REC mode, the camera can be set to “remember” thecompensation value in effect when the mode dial is turned off, restoringthe value when the mode dial is next set to M-REC. For more informa-tion, see:“Camera Setup: Customizing Camera Controls”Exposure compensation can also be set using the EXPOSURE OPTIONS >Exp. +/– item in the M-REC menu.
