5150Exposure CompensationDETAILED OPERATION (EXPOSURE)To modify exposure control (i.e. from the ISO standard), use theexposure compensation function. This can be useful when the subjecthas pronounced contrast or when bracketing exposure with colour slidefilm (where the latitude of the proper exposure is minimal). You canmodify exposure control from –3EV to +3EV in 1/2 steps (except in zmode and Vari-Program).12 Compose picture and shoot.Compensate exposure by rotating the Command Dialwhile pressing the h button until the desiredcompensation value appears.• To cancel exposure compensation, rotate the Command Dial whilepressing the h button to reset the compensation value to 0. Or you canperform Two-Button Reset (page 57). (Turning the camera off does notcancel the exposure compensation function.)• When the exposure compensation is set, h appears in the viewfinder andLCD panel. The compensation value can be checked by pressing the hbutton (it is also indicated in the viewfinder’s electronic analogue display).In flash photography, the flash output level is also compensated.• Normally, you should compensate exposure to the + side when thebackground is brighter than your main subject or to the – side when thebackground is darker.–0.5EV compensation+2EV compensationF60 (E) 02.12.27 5:34 PM Page 50WWW.LENSINC.NET
